Hi,
I'm looking for alternative medications as the psychiatrists refuse to give me anything but SSRIs. They say I'm allowed to try an anti-psychotic, (which i would like to) --- But only if I'm on an SSRI at the same time. I can't tolerate SSRIs, at all. They also do literally nothing to help me as well as giving me awful side-effects.. however the psychiatrists seem to view this as - me being 'unwilling' to commit to medication.  - Not that their medications are useless and do no good for me.> So, I've been abandoned by big pharma. And am looking for herbal alternatives. I have heard, Ashwaganda is specifically good for OCD, which is very interesting to me. So far I have used CBD, and found it great at toning down my general Anxiety levels. I'm going to give Ashwaganda a try next week. Curious to hear if anyone else has given it a try.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
