I have read that a lot of people with PTSD or CPTSD have OCD, too. It is rough, yes. So sorry you both are suffering with both of these. Have you found any medicine that helps? Any particular therapy that works? I had some cbt that really was not helpful. I take risperdal for sleep and to help me be more calm during the day-low doses as I cannot tolerate standard doses. Looking for a new antidepressant I haven't tried already. The SSRIs have made the CPTSD/OCD worse. Only taking 5 mg. of Paxil and the 10 mg. made all my symptoms worse.
