Scrupulosity ocd/anxiety

[jb8185]

Has anyone had success in using medication as a part of their therapy for scrupulosity ocd/anxiety? I am having a really hard time and cannot seem to break the thoughts. I am wondering if medication may be a good option for me. I was previously on Zoloft/Kolonipin for anxiety but stopped taking it last year because I thought I was better. This last week has been my first major breakdown since then. My thoughts are interfering with every aspect of my life right now.

I know some people find medicine to be very effective. I've never taken it, but I think it can be helpful if one needs it. Of course, learning how to manage one's mind is the best long-term strategy, but medicine can help in the short term. If you're interested in getting more peer support for OCD, I'd also suggest the Facebook group "Christianity and Anxiety Disorders." I'm part of that group, and I know there are many people on there who have taken meds for OCD and would be willing to share their experiences. I can share about the mind strategy/therapy part, but I'm pretty limited about medication knowledge.
