I have both OCPD and GAD. If you don't like it-- don't talk to me!
When I was first diagnosed with GAD (17 years old-- 9 years ago), I tried Buspar but it made me sooooooooooo sick and the doctor wanted to try Xanax but was afraid of the side effects and addiction (I had a few Xanax if need be but I never took them)! So I stuck with counseling and got through it after a few months. Then when my GAD (along with depression) came on to strong (4 years later) for just counseling they put me on Paxil and Wellbutrin....and they said the Paxil should help with my problems with OCPD (oh boy, I have one clean and organized house and office at work....and work area for the staff....oh peope just love me because I love to have things overllllllllly clean and organized!! And yes, if you are wondering I am one of those people if you move something I have a certain way, I move it right back!). I have recently been taken off all medication and feel absolutely wonderful! I can totally control my GAD and OCPD-- and the depression has been gone for a long time! I definitely recommend medication for the immediate problem, but a person should work through it with counseling or something else and eventually go off the medicine!!
