      I do. zoloft 100mg but i still suffer with severe ocd but I would probably be worse without it , but hard to know for sure

      i get a good week then bam! i get another obsession themes are either health anxiety or throat clearingits awful

      the only things that help are working out, eating healthy and distraction but ofcourse nothing is a magic bullet

      i pray that i find other ways because i suffer too frequently
