I too am suffering from OCD, I worry constantly, negative thoughts, very simlar to Aaroncoal1 and worrier247. I search websites constantly for an answer. I am at a point now where I cannot enjoy anything, these thoughts just take over . I was on Zoloft for 5 mos but stopped 1 month ago due to weight gain. So now I am without anything, and of course scared to death. The thoughts are there but have not taken total control of me. Is there something to take for this that won't cause weight gain. I have an appointment w/my doctor next week but I just like to know what works for others w/out awful side effects. (my doctor told me zoloft did not cause weight gain). By the way I gained 15 lbs in 5 mos and I haven't lost any yet, but I will keep posting my progress. I could not seem to find anyone online that said exactly how long it takes for their zoloft weight to come off so I thought I would. weight as of 03/30/2007 145lbs.
Hi,
Doors12,I agree could it be an auto immune disease? Yes, I definitily think it could be 
I was recently diagnoised with lymes disease. I have problems with anxiety . My daughter who is 9 is on prozac for anxiety. I think she has Lyme disease as well. will get her tested at a Igenex lab.

I think she has Lyme disease as well. will get her tested at a Igenex lab.I think alot of illnessess could be due to some kind of toxin or auto immune disease. Somehow we get unwanted bacteria in us humans and it literally goes to our brain. 
But Lyme is a spyrokette similar to shipilus. It stays in your body for a long time and slowly does alot of damage to the nervous system.
anyway something to consider!! 
I also agree I was DX with Crohns long after my OCD dx ........

I just cannot comprehend why this information isn't part of the public consciousness. Good luck finding a counselor or psychologist, psychiatrist that will explore an autoimmune connection, even if you make them aware of other strange physical complaints.
They will write you a script for an SSRI and tell you it's a Serotonin issue, or even worse, they will try to cure you with cognitive techniques. Not that there couldn't be an element of Neurotransmitter issues as well - I believe there is more Serotonin in the intestines than in the brain...
