The new shrink who said I dont have official depression gave me Luvox CR for my OCD. Should I bother with it?
I also take Xanax for my anxiety and Ultram for my back pains. The DR was concerned about the Luvox and the Ultram. I was on Vicodin and Lortab for the back but I could not tolerate the side effects of narcotics. Do I give this Luvox CR a chance to help my sick OCD or do i just keep with my Xanax and tame my anxiety? I also have bleeding ulcers that do on bleed anymore and i take 80 mgs a day of protonix for this, I have a low thyroid and massive allergies. I don’t want to take extra pills but I want to know if this Luvox CR will help – otherwise I’m not taking it. I also have had rashes in the past from some other pill.If the Luvox CR can help me with my OCD I’ll take it, but I do not want anymore gastric bleeding or rashes. I dont care about the sexual side effects or the weight gain – I just want some feedback from ppl who have major anxiety, take Xanax, and are seriously OCD. Thanks for your help!
Edit – I love the 2 responses I have received. To the first responder, I do try and use a holistic approach the my pains. And funny you mention volunteering – my 14 yr old cat died in June and I go to the locals Humane Society every week and play with the cats. I’m not an official volunteer but loving the cats helps me heal. I am on the fence with these meds bc I know the DRs want you to get hooked on it so they can get money. I am just very concerned about possible ulcer disruption. From what I have read about this med so far, there doesn’t seem to be a bleeding issue – the main issue seems to be gas and I live alone so thats not a problem. I just dont know if I should try this stuff. I have 5 weeks of free samples so no money was spent but I dont want to create other medical problems if this pill isnt something I really need. What do you all think I should do?
I think you really need to talk to a therapist, counselor or a professional about this. They can give you the best answer.

meds can and do damage people who suffer from this illness
hypnotherapy and all of this what is paramount is to choose your healing route—— carefully– be really aware that the conventional treatment for this can be horrendous and you can go on for years with no improvement and massive damaging detrimental side effects from meds . Do read this very carefully and try and understand the principles behind what is being said .
Evaluate all of this info well –this info will save you years of suffering —years if you apply it ..
This will educate you on our health care system and its dire limitations
All treatment recommended by the doctors should be tested and approved and quite rightly so.
That makes sense right .it costs millions to test and approve treatments because of the possible damage to people..
Drug companies Fund most research and will only and I mean only look at treatments, which show the promise of good deal of a profit, –they will actively dismiss any therapy which does not have profit potential— thus your doctor will only recommend therapies with profit in them.
Despite The fact that some of these other therapies mentioned do have overwhelming benefits some, which have saved needless amputations, needless pain and trauma, and much loss of life. Drugs are not the answer for depression with mind altering chemicals or any other mental illness. This is a fundamental principle and unless you grasp this fully –you could /will have years of suffering ahead of you .
This does not help you though when you are ill and suffering—not hearing about therapies which can help from a person you look up to and trust Have you heard your local doctor recommend, Massage Spiritual healing, Herbs, Light therapy,Colour therapy,the violet ray therapy, Osteopathy, Electrical Frequency devices.
These therapies will work for many complaints of a so called mental nature
we have thousands of testimonials and results showing years of successful applications
Do this and I will guarantee improvements to you inside a day its that simple, of course getting these things in place can be much harder. Each therapy can have a very beneficial influence on you.
Print this all off save it and enact it and share it — of course someone to help you get these therapies in your life is invaluable but do not be swayed by them trying for short cuts ….
1,get someone to massage your back and legs at least 3 times a week use peanut oil or a mix of 50-50 olive and peanut oil.
2 use the violet ray machine an Edgar Cayce device google search this — 3 times a week on the other days especially on the spine….we use it every day with very positive results
3.get a tent sleep out side 3times a week utilising earth energy – nature can help big time especially with how you feel how much energy you have
4 study and apply good nutrition– adequate minerals all of them particularly calcium and magnesium iron essential fatty acids omega 3 6 9 protein etc
5 ensure your thyroid is working well
7 ensure you do at least I hr per day some kind of voluntary work when you are able..the reasons you are ill , or poor or have allsorts of bad things happen to you is because of karma —–usually from past lives but some from this one –voluntary work will offset your mistakes— how much it offsets well that is down to god and how much you do. Healing us is in direct proportion to the help we give others ie your healing comes with helping others achieve theirs so if people are doing very little in helping others —they suffer more and longer…and if they are doing a lot they get well faster….so now you know what to do ,,and like a lot of us are already doing being of service.
8 be amongst people who are giving, friendly who have time for you who love you , choose your friends well
9 be or get to a place which personally love or like
10 get and do some work which you like or love
11 ensure you do no acts which hurt or inflict on anyone –don’t want to add to your karma do we !!!
12 spiritual healing yes and reiki -.
13think good positive thoughts, laughter, look at comedy, play good uplifting music,
14 avoid at all costs exposure to violence, murders, suffering ,death ,tragedies, -feed upon good things uplifting things, things that feel like a breath of fresh air..
15 Positive affirmation- that’s right programme your self in the mirror , thoughts are things words are things actions are things , all have influence, few people realise these things can have an effect on themselves .
16 a detox —— toxins can influence how you feel big time
17 hugs get plenty of them in your daily life you would be amazed at how people feel after a few decent hugs….
18 loads of exercise running walking climbing but something which you enjoy
19 rid yourselves of all aspartame laden foods and drink and many additives get back to a wholesome organic diet diet
A total cure however

I’ll take the view that you must have wanted assistance or you wouldn’t have been at the doctor’s office. Why go and waste the money if you aren’t going to follow the advice. The best way to know if something works for you is to give it a try. Different meds work different ways on different people. What works for me won’t necessarily work for you.
Sounds like you would like to be medication free, but you have too many problems right now for that to be a possibility.
