What medication is used to stop unwanted repeating thoughts?
Unwanted repeating thoughts can be caused by several different disorders — each with a different approach to treatment. Even with a diagnosis, a good doctor will try to find the medication that is just right for that patient because everyone responds differently. You could have OCD as another poster suggested. Or you could have an anxiety disorder, bipolar disorder (manic-depression) or even a mild type of schizophrenia. Please see your physician and ask for a referral to a mood disorder specialist, a psychopharmacologist or a psychiatrist. This is not something you should be getting help for from people who aren’t qualified, though certainly doing research on your own like this is a normal place to start — just to get an idea of what might be going on. Good luck and I hope you find what you need.
