OBSESSIVE COMPULSIVE DISORDER (OCD) COMMUNITY
EPS and or serotonin intoxication causing brain issues?

EPS and or serotonin intoxication causing brain issues?

2 years ago I've been diagnosed with OCD which has been evident in my life since early childhood.  While I was on medication, I experimented with such.  Upping my own dosages, taking them at different times, as my psych specifically told me that taking the meds at different times may help some of the side effects of the weight gain.  Before this, the medication was not working, and the side effects of EPS (severe facial muscle tension) were prominent since the 2nd to 3rd week of taking them...I was on them for 7 months.  After a few months, I started to experience muscle relaxation, random ejaculations (before getting off the medication), worse OCD signs (light phenomenals, increased anxieties), and social phobia, bed soaking cold sweats, deeper fears of contamination, etc. which were told to my psych in which she continued to not do a thing except suggest upping the medication.

I'm wondering if medication use, where these signs were distinguishable is such a sort elapse, cause permanent damage?  I continue to have severe cold sweats from time to time, while having this underlying social phobia.  My OCD has gotten much more difficult to handle and I'm going on limbs for friends (only 1 left).  I feel weird every day...and I've been off them for a good year and a half.  I went from a grade A student to a failure.  My frontal lobe feels funny...I'm very concerned over this.

Any input or comments would be greatly appreciated.

Just to add.  I even developed lactose intolerance.  Before the meds, I was able to drink milk without any issues.  Even today I get some issues with the face tension.

And these aggressions, although inside I don't feel as such.
