I am talking medicine ofOCD since 4 years - #26206

hello neeraj Sisodia, OCD is not a weakness it's a mental habit cycle that your brain got stuck in. Medicines like SSRIs help reduce the repetitive thoughts and compulsions, but they don’t cure the root pattern they just help manage the symptoms. If you've taken them for 4 years and now feel emotionally and mentally more stable, it is possible to reduce or stop them, but not suddenly or on your own. The brain adapts to these medicines slowly, so stopping them quickly can cause withdrawal or relapse of thoughts. In Ayurveda, OCD is associated with an imbalance in Vata dosha in the nervous system (Manovaha srotas) and accumulation of rajas and tamas in the mind. This causes repetitive thinking, fear, and compulsions. We work by: Calming the Vata system Cleansing mano doshas (mental toxins) Building sattva (mental clarity and stability) Internal Medicines (along with slow tapering of allopathy under doctor supervision) Manasamitra Vatakam – 1 tablet at bedtime with warm milk Ashwagandha Churna – ½ tsp with honey and ghee morning and evening Kalyanaka Ghrita – 1 tsp early morning on empty stomach (excellent for mental stability) You can start these even while continuing allopathy then after a month, under guidance, start tapering psychiatric dose very slowly (reduce 1/4th at a time every few weeks). Daily Practices (Non-negotiable) Wake up early and do Abhyanga (self oil massage) with Ksheerabala Taila or sesame oil Pranayama: 10 mins Anulom Vilom, 5 mins Bhramari, 5 mins Chandra anuloma Sit in silence (meditation) for 5 mins after that Diet Support Avoid caffeine, white sugar, processed food Take warm, fresh food: ghee, moong dal, rice, jaggery, dry fruits Add 1 tsp Brahmi powder to warm milk at night Avoid skipping meals and eating late 6. Important Tests (Optional) Vitamin B12, D3 (deficiency increases anxiety) Thyroid Profile (hypothyroidism may worsen symptoms) Yes, you can absolutely come out of OCD medications, but with slow tapering, right herbs, a calm routine, and inner work. Don't rush the process patience and consistency will free you without side effects. If you have any doubts, you can contact me. Take care, Regards, Dr. Karthika
