What not to eat/drink/take with OCD

[Alprazolam]

I am putting together a list of things that can be detremental to someone with OCD.


I will update it as much as I can as people add in more suggestions, and I will list them in importance/severity.



1. Drugs- Cocaine/Ecstacy/Meth/LSD/Speed/THC  Anything like this will drain your seratonin levels and affect your dopamine levels which will WRECK your OCD condition even moreso.

2. Caffeine- Yes, if possible avoid caffeine. Any major stimulants to the brain like this can affect your OCD in adverse ways.

3. Stimulants- (Yohimbine, Ephedra, Synephrine HCL) Similar to caffeine, possibly worse.

4. Alcohal- Although alcohal is classified as a depressant, if large amounts are consumed it can have an adverse react on someone with OCD. (Another stimulant thing. Usually if someone drinks a large amount, they feel a state of euphoria/hapiness meaning seratonin and dopamine levels are being affected which means OCD is affected/agitated.)

5. Wheat(Questionable)- Some studies have shown that a bacteria/yeast in wheat can intensify depression. This may or may not be true.


This is all I have for now, I will be updating this every day or other day as needed! Feel free to add in!

Another good reason to stay away from drugs and alchohol 
As for the wheat that's interesting, never ever heard that before. Did it help you not to eat wheat? HAHA that rhymes
