Re: Help with medication

Hey Paul-
Not sure were you live, but we are working on a new show where people
in Los Angeles can get 4 months of free therapy (cognitive behavioral
therapy). Here is the info:


OCD Documentary Seeks Participants!

A new documentary series about OCD and related disorders is searching
for people that are in need of help. This non-exploitive documentary
will have the goal of improving the participants' lives through
sessions with a licensed therapist who specializes in
obsessive-compulsive behavior.

Is your OCD severely affecting your life and the lives of your loved ones?

Are you a washer/cleaner? A checker? A hoarder? An orderer?

Do you have intense anxiety or phobias that prevent you from living
your life the way you want to?

Are you ready to get your life back and rid yourself of these
behaviors forever?


Chosen applicants will receive FREE cognitive behavioral therapy from
doctors and licensed therapists including:
John Tsilimparis, MFT, and Karen Pickett, MFT

For more information, send us an email at TherapyCasting@... or
call us at (310)341-2500 and ask for casting.

> Hi all,
> I was diagnosed with OCD around 3 years ago and have been on
Clomiprmaine ("Anafranil") for around 2 years.
> At first, I didn't want to go on any medication, but it has made a
big difference.
> Although I'm now on quite a low dose (30 to 40 mg/day) I find that
many of my symptoms return if I take any less, or miss a few days
medication.
> Although I don't really want to be on tablets for the rest of my
life, for now I'm happy to keep taking the low dose as being
free(ish)Â from OCD has made such a difference.
> I wondered though, does anyone know if there are any long-term
effects to taking these drugs? My doctor has said no, but only ever
talks in terms of a couple of years in the future - I'm worried
about what effect they might have if I'm still taking them in 20 years
time!
> Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
> Thanks,
> Paul.
