Intrusive thoughts OCD

Thank you very much Anuj ji for your quick reply. I am getting these options here for the cell salts (attached image). Are these ok?

Also, we were suggested to give him ashwagandha tablets, Do you think it will interfere with the homeopathy medication.

Please let me know. Thank you again!

Thank you for your quick reply! Actually he had started taking ayurvedic ashwagandha tablets 4 days ago after we read articles about it. Should we wait for a few days for it clear from his system before starting homeopathy medicines that you prescribed.

Thank you very much.

Thank you Anuj ji, I am not getting Aurum Met 200 in liquid form here, is pills form ok?

Thank you and sorry that I should have asked in my previous question as I understand you will be attending to many posts.

I forgot to ask if pellets is ok, how many Aur Met pellets I give.
Even Nux Vomica liquid lead time is 15 days to get here, but pellets are available, can I give Nux vomica pellets as well. If so, how many?

Thank you again!

Thank you Anuj and Simone for your replies. I should have all the medicines by tomorrow and I plan to start in the morning.
He does not have suicidal thoughts, during the peak of these intrusive thoughts early this month, he said he felt like suicidal because of the guilt but now the fact that he has shared with us and understand that these are thoughts out of his control, I do not see any suicidal thoughts. I got the AM 200 just in case if needed for future. He has not been taking any supplemental medication before this.

Just a little more information on his personality traits and what I witnessed in the last few days worth sharing;

Personality traits:
Very empathetic and cares for deprived, has a strong feeling of right and wrong.
Has a very strong bond and love for us parents and strongly believes in family values.
Very rigid about his beliefs, can argue/defend his views with strong evidence from books etc.
Huge appetite for reading books on various topics compared to kids of his age.
Passionate about mathematics and always focused on solving complex problems.
Photographic memory of what he reads.
Academically very very intelligent.
Once lost in reading, cannot focus on other things at home and irritated if asked to do something else.

Some observations recently:
Got intrusive thoughts around a topic we discussed at home e.g. argument over gluten content in a medicine as he felt we are supporting animal slaughter (we are vegetarian), he went on to argue and later said he felt we were irrational and there was a surge of intrusive thoughts of hurting us and underwent anxiety. There is no such desire but that random thought came and he sulked in the guilt that how did such thought even come to his mind and laments it and sobs. We are talking to him openly about this. He understands that he needs help now as is intelligent enough to understand these thoughts are not his identity and is working with us to find a solution.

Now to the actual medication.

Anuj ji, per your suggestion here is what I will be giving him. please correct if I am wrong especially #1.

#1 (From day 1, Before dinner-3 days). For Nux vomica since you had originally suggested liquid form, now that I will be getting pellets; should I dissolve Nux Vomica 200C 5 pellets in an ounce of water and have him drink 1/3 of the water every fifteen minutes or give him 5 pellets every 15 mins.

#2(Fourth day onwards). Suplhur 30C 5 pellets 3 times/day.

#3.(From day 1) Calc Phos 6X and Silicea 6X for three days.

Question:
Q1:I have been reading by improving gut microbes using certain probiotics, Vitamim B12 suplements helps OCD symptoms, should I try this or it would interfere with the homeopathy medication.
Q2: Should I wait for #3 medication (Calc phos and silicea) or start it?


Meanwhile, we are working with him to do meditation, yoga etc and not engrossed in books for few months and spend more time talking, playing and other activities. As a parent we were happy that he likes reading various topics etc but now we are thinking that overdose of reading is somewhat of a contributor but not sure :(. Plus puberty maybe playing somewhat of a role..

Thank you again for reading this long post. I realized more details would help you decide the right medication for him.

Thank you again, I will wait for your clarification.

Thank you again. Just to reconfirm Nux Vomica 200C five pellets 3 times every 15 mins before dinner is what you are recommending. Sorry hate to keep confirming since it is high potency and if ok for his age 12.5 years.

I will share the results in a week.

It looks like Aadithya picked the wrong post for his question by mistake..

Dear Anuj, Simone

Here is an update;

We started with Nux Vomica 200C pellets 3 days 15 mins apart as you suggested and from 4th day on wards started Sulphur 30C threee times a day.

Before we started with Nux Vomica, he had one session of therapy where he spoke to a counselor. Overall the mood was better; this was the time we were giving him moral support and he had realized that this was a medical condition. After he started Nux Vomica, he mentioned that he had no intrusive thoughts and was overall confident. I am inclined to believe it had a good effect on him but not sure if the fact that he had opened up quiet a bit helped the mood. However in the last 2-3 days, he started getting intrusive thoughts again of images of killing, sexual etc, which he shared after lot of talking to him as I could read from his face on a few occasions that he was suffering from within. He loves us immensely and worries he is giving us stress. He is able to quickly get over the sexual or violent intrusive thoughts based on the techniques he was given in the therapy, however he seems to worry too much of some baseless irrational fears; eating food which is not vegan, developing some disease, he does understand that it is irrational but those thoughts rattle him a little bit once in a while.

Based on this; not sure of Suplhur 30C is doing anything but I am inclined to believe Nux Vomica had a positive effect, hoping not a co-incidence during that period!

Please suggest, how should we proceed.

I am very thankful for all your quick responses.

Looking forward to your guidance.
Please let me know if you have any questions.

Hello Anuj, Calc Phos and Silicea was not given yet. I am sorry, I misread Simone's comments as yours that suggested not adding many remedies on top of Nux Vomica and Sulphur as it may confuse things.

Should I start now allover?

Thanks again

Thank you for your quick reply. I will start today. I do now have Nux Vomica in liquid form. For Calc Phos and Silicea that I need to start from day 1; should there be a gap between the two or they can be taken at the same time 3 times a day? Similarly from day 4, when I start Sulphur, should it be all three; Sulphur, Calc Phos and Silicea at the same time or there needs to be a gap between each?

Thank you again!
