can i reverse my involuntry thoughts

hello dr,
     i used to read the oso , a phisopher, whose phisosy does not give the proper way to live the life . after reading the lectures of oso, i got with many mental problems because i could not control my brain. among the thoughts which whirl my mind, there was irritating point which propel me to many mental problem is that " brain works opposit to us "" . i also practiced the relaxation exercises i-e meditation . i used to concentrate my mind to my whole body and breath, through which i got relaxation and concentration. but suddenly the point" that brain function opposit to us" make me every time my brain fix toward my body either to the breath or legs . which causes my exccessive relaxation . i could not get control of this . every time this point whirle in my mind from sunrise to sunset. due to uncotrolled attention to the breathing i got dyspnea. all these things i shared with psychaitrist, who diagnosed my case as  obssessive compulsive disorder.. i have taken his treatment from 2 n half years . through this i forget the thoughts constantly in my mind . now i have get rid of that problem , but still i can not get complete rid of that problem . i think if i forget oso,s philosophy . i may not feel this .but this is not possible to forget some thing . the thoughts which person wants to eleminate comes again and again in mind .  normally when person are not aware of their psycology, they can controll their brain easily , but when they know about their psycosis or neurosis , they can not control this . some times my concentration also went to the mouth and psycolgically i get plenty of saliva secretion , because i feel that i can not forget it . i can not turn my attention from the point which i dislike .when we read a novel a sequence of imagination is produced in our mind but after getting my thoughts intturped i never see those imaginations, which generate while reading novels or stories . because i destroyed my thoughts . i have got the treatment, now i,m well but one thing which i still want to get my imagination n thoughts just like normal people . this is possible only after forgeting these philosophies .  i want my brain which was present before knowing the philsophy . a brain which is involuntary full of thoughts going in rythm . now i used to interrupt my thought before they finish . if i forget these boring philosophies , i may get back my old brain .        thanks i will wait for your reply

hello recently, 4 months back i used to get stelazine along with escitalopram . igot good response i experience no interruption of thoughts but regular and rythmic thoughts but after six weeks , stelazine causes it,s side effect just like akathasia and restlessness in my legs and also slowness in my study speed . i  had to force my mind to read . but after it,s withdrawl , i remained on escitalopram only but only interruption of thoughts occured . now my doctor is suggesting resperidone., but i,m afraid of it , i think it causes reversal of my symptoms . because i had the problems of ditraction of my attention again and again to my legs or whole body and also towards my breathing . sometimes my attention goes to one part of body , sometime to otherparts . it causes relaxation in my body but i,m phobc of this anxiolytic relaxation . doctor is suggesting resperidone , but i,m afraid that this may cause reversal of symptoms . wat can i do? . ishall take it or not?

The more you will try to fight this problem the more you will aggravate it....
Think what we can do to fight a problem;the best thing we can do is to try. If you try and you dont succeed you cant do anything more than that.....After trying each and everything if you are not able to get rid of the problem then tell your mind that the best way to deal with it is to accept it....... I have also been going through a problem which is very similar to your's. I think medications can certainly help but you have to find a way to live with it without paying too much attention to it......

Wish you all the best. I am with you
