Today I went to see my doctor to discuss my OCD and the possibility of changing medicine. I brought up Luvox and she told me it is highly sedative. I chose not to use it YET, as my job requires me to be alert and capable of juggling several tasks at once. She instead perscribed a drug called Mannerix, which she said has helped a number of her patients with OCD. I am hoping this will help out with my symptoms, as they are getting pretty bad lately. Just to give an example, I ate a Chocolate Timbit today from the box my boss brings in every Friday for everyone in the office. After eating it, I got scared because I was afraid it might have been contaminated with (HIV infected) blood and I wouldn't know it because the chocolate colour would hide it. I know it is highly unlikely, but my brain just can't seem to dismiss these types of thoughts. I gave this example just to show how hard living with this condition can be. I have another appointment scheduled in three weeks and I hope to see some sort of improvement by then.
