Anyone been diagnosed or know someone that has?

My adult oldest son has what the doc called "borderline" OCD. He does not have the classic symptoms of rituals, hand washing, flipping light switches, checking and re-checking locks, arranging things, etc. But he does self-stimulate by what my wife calls his "vibrating." We noticed when he was about four years old, he'd put both of his fists together near his face, he'd get a very intense look on his face and then vibrate his hands for about two or three seconds. When we'd ask him what he was doing or thinking about when he'd vibrate, he'd say he was thinking about a video game. The doc said when he'd get bored or when his mind would wander, he'd do that to stimulate his brain. Once he got into school, the other kids and even some teachers would make fun of him, so he became very self-concious about it. He would surpress the urge or wait until he was alone so that others would not notice. As he's gotten older, he does it less as work and social interaction stimulate him, but still does it on occasion and it's something that will be with him the rest of his life.

Not sure about that last part. I'm working with someone to beat the cycle. I'll let you know how it goes.

The breathing exercises have been pretty impressive so far.

The wife. She was just prescribed something, but I can't remember the name of it. The first week I have noticed a dramatic change in how she acts. She was pretty loopy the first day, but after that she is normal. But, the small insignificant things that would bother her are not a problem anymore.

It is not pot. I know her sister is on Zoloft. My wife is on something very unique. She, also has a thyroid problem and Polycystic ovarian syndrome..so her meds are very designed for her. If I find out the name, I will post here. It has done a complete 180 on my wife in just a week (she started last Friday).

OCD is very effectively treated in most cases with a combination of SSRI antidepressants plus therapy.

If your wife is a little OCD a little bupropion will do the trick. Plus, she will trim up a little bit, be a little bit happier, AND she will have better orgasms.

There's a reason the call it the skinny, happy, horny pill.

This does sound pretty great. However, it's for me, and I don't want to be on meds for the rest of my life.

It would probably still work for you. I've taken it. Wellbutrin. Marketed as xyban for smoking cessation.
