GP prescribed a ocd medicine and???

[kyloren]

Can anyone help? A odd thing happened to me to do with ocd, my GP prescribed a new medicine to help me sleep, kinda because insomnia was making my intrusive thoughts worse. I’m on a low dose of the medicine but my anxiety has shot thru the roof and my ocd intrusive thoughts are going crazy and getting, how should I put it…evil and twisted. That is NOT okay, right? Medicine is something I’ve always feared, I only think that herbal supplements are really helpful; they are both pure and good for you and help to crowd out intrusive thoughts. Anyone here think medication is a good way of curing ocd-related things? I don’t. Hope I can get help and advice from someone…I don’t trust my GP
