[quote=Anonymous]I have had two major bouts of anxiety and OCD in my life (now in my 40s). The first time I took meds and did talk therapy but got off the meds as fast as my doctor agreed to let me. The second time, I realized when I started the meds that I had been living with manageable but significant anxiety and OCD in that entire time I had been off the meds. Now I can't understand why I wanted to get off the meds so badly the first time. I am so much better on the meds (I also do talk therapy). I echo the chorus of earlier PPs and my amazing psychiatrist who say that talk therapy plus meds are the most effective treatment for anxiety and OCD.[/quote]
