Is the 20 mg dose of paroxetine able to remove my obsession?

I didn't know where to put this thread, so I give it here. I'd like to find out about some pretty important for me thing. Namely, I've 2 things - especially one but the 2nd thing sometimes obsesses me as well - which could pretty well be named as obsessive thoughts. They refer to some stuff which I'm not able to get - so the best option would be to get rid of them, as they're senseless and ineffective.

Is the 20 mg dose of paroxetine (I'm still hesitating, but the dr has suggested me it; I know about some pretty good treatment effects in some people, sometimes astonishing; on the other hand, I know that the withdrawal of it could be pretty hard - but fluoxetine/Prozac is known to minimize it) able to cure me of some sort of an obsessive thoughts? I want it so much.

I believe that it's possible, let me know if any of you had similar problem and if had got rid of it.

Cheers to you.

Well, I know that the med doses for OCD are rather higher than the anxiety/depression ones, but I just wondered if such a little dose of 20 mg could be effective as well in my case - I'm not sure if it's exactly OCD in me, it's only obsessive thoughts, which are not constant, but they do disturb me. They don't lead to any compulsions, by the way.

I also wouldn't like to put in me even more quantities of meds, as I get pretty much antiinflammatory & immunosuppressive drugs, due to my U. Colitis.

These thoughts aren't good, as they relate to either a thing which is beyond reach of mine, or to a thing which I've simply lost - so they can't be constructive and can be only harmful. It's not important what they're exactly, I'd like rather not to tell about them. It's not worth.

Cheers :)

I deleted the double post in depression as it seems you are getting the answers that you are looking for here in the anxiety forum. And it fits better here!

Good luck
