[quote=Anonymous]I was told I likely have OCD and am taking sertraline (250 mg/day).  My treatment started due to depression, which was quickly overcome with the sertraline and some therapy, but I continued to be very anxious.  My psychiatrist told me I likely have OCD, which I believe is probably true based on what I've read, but it's new to me.

I'm interested in hearing about others with OCD and how you have treated it.  What dosage of meds are you taking?  When I told my primary doctor I was on 250 mg/day, she was sort of shocked by how high that was, but my psychiatrist told me the usual dosage for OCD is about 350.  I am still doing therapy, but more "talk therapy" with a social worker than behavioral mod.

I'd say I sort of have "mild" OCD and mostly the obsessional type -- very few tangible compulsions.  I recognize some in myself, but no one else would (even those very close to me).  I've also read that OCD is usually genetic, and I see possible small signs in my family, but no one has full-blown OCD or is on treatment for it.  Is this the experience of others?

Thanks!  Just looking for some feedback and support.[/quote]
