Talk to Psychiatry on Religious OCD
Asking for Self, Male, 27 years old, Lahore
Since Sept 2024, I have been facing religious OCD/unexplained anxiety. It started after I had been consuming huge nicotine (vaping) I started taking Brintellix in Dec which controlled my anxiety but OCD increased. Then I switched to Sert almost a month ago. OCD improving but still to go. I feel that these medicines have caused my OCD to surface up.
but which dose u are taking n along with other medicine are u taking or not ?

Since almost 5 weeks.
Before that I was on Brintellix 10MG but I felt that I was forgetting a lot so I stopped that and went to Zoloft

But doctor, I feel that these symptoms came out when I started Brintellix.
I never had OCD ever in my life before. But now I feel I'm forgetting things, i redo things and feel I haven't done which I am already in process of doing
