I've been dealing with severe anxiety and OCD for years now, and even though I'm on medication, it's not helping much. It's really affecting my work and daily life, and I'm feeling overwhelmed. Are there any newer treatments or even surgical options that could help with OCD? I'm desperate for something that actually works.

Modern treatments like deep TMS,DBS,and intensive CBT may help treatment-resistant OCD.Specialist evaluation is needed.

I've been feeling pretty anxious for the past couple of weeks, and my doctor put me on Trika 0.25 along with some meds for GERD and throat issues. I've only taken it for two days, but I'm noticing dizziness, giddiness, and mild weakness during the day. Should I stop taking Trika 0.25 mg, or if I should keep going, could you let me know for how long?

Yes discontinue as soon as possible. It has many side effects like dizziness, weakness, fatigue body Giddiness etc

I've been having some anxiety and OCD issues, so I went to a psychiatrist and got prescribed Depran H. After taking the first tablet, a few hours later, my vision got kind of blurry, like when you're a bit drunk, and I noticed some mild shivering too. Is this something normal with this medication?
