quit percocet/nicotine and have ocd

Hi everybody,
Im a 32 male and ive been smoking for years and ive had a past addiction with marijuana and cocaine. Ive been clean from the coke and weed for over two years. Last october I started to take percocet 3 to 4 days out of the week. I also forgot to mention I suffer from OCD and i am taking klonopin and luvox. Well back to the percocet, I would be taking double the recommended dosage in these days sometimes more or less. In the days I was not taking them I would smoke a half a pack. My father passed away last may and I managed to stop only for two weeks from the percocet. It was a hard time and I have guilt in myself for being high in that time. A little over a month ago I quit both smoking and taking the percocets. Im feeling ok but I do have mood swings and I feel like my ocd is a little worse at times. I hope and suspect its only me still withdrawing from both chemicals.  Is this normal?

actually it has been 6 weeks today now im panicking see how my ocd is? Is it possible that my ocd is a little irritated and it will take a while for me to feel my luvox feeling again?

Yeah, I had the sexual side effects while on Zoloft. Wellbutrin could be an alternative. It has an almost zero occurance of sexual side effects. I was on it for a while and can tell you that it didn't have any sexual side effects at all.

Wow, you were very brave to kick both habits at the same time. I suspect that the reactions you are having is just continued withdrawal symptoms. Some people get over all the physical stuff in 3 days. Other people take 6 weeks. Have you ever considered going on an anti anxiety drug that's not benzo based such as Paxil? Klonopin can be heck to get off of.
