What are the natural remedies for OCD?

Good morning. My name is Fabio. I suffer from Obsessive Compulsive Disorder associated with anxiety , one thing related to the other. For the treatment I take two different antidepressants (Anafranil and Daparox), combined with an antipsychotic (Olanzapine). Since I have been taking Valerian for a few days, which is proving to be an excellent natural remedy, I would like to replace the pharmacological negotiations with alternative and efficient natural products. I ask: 1. Do you recommend it to me? 2. If so, which products do you think can effectively replace the drugs listed above? A cordial greeting, Fabio

Dear Fabio, I advise you to make changes by consulting and in agreement with your psychotherapist and psychiatrist. These things must be carefully evaluated and agreed. A greeting. A. Secci.

Good evening Fabio, the drugs she is taking should never be stopped abruptly or without talking to the psychiatrist who is following her. I consider natural remedies to be excellent aids but I would not advise a person to substitute them for a psychiatric drug especially in the absence of information on symptoms and anamnesis. I therefore invite you to discuss with the professionals who are treating you to assess the situation in the most appropriate and correct way for you. Dr. Elena Mini

Dear Mr. Fabio, as far as therapy with drugs and other remedies is concerned, it is always preferable to contact the prescriber of psychotropic drugs and also (from what I understand) diagnostician. Only he will be able to better express himself on any positive or negative interactions. However, for any substitutions it is always advisable to refer to the prescriber who usually does not suddenly stop taking antidepressant drugs but only after a slow “downshift”. If you find it useful and necessary

Hello everyone and thank you all for the information you have given me. I will discuss this with the psychiatrist who is treating me, as you have suggested, and then we will consider what to do. My feeling, as an “outsider” and ignorant on the subject, is that replacing drugs of that magnitude with natural remedies, however effective, is unproductive – a bit like Dr. Elena Mini said. Wishing you a good day and a good job, thank you warmly, Fabio
