obsessing about losing control
this problem started 30 years ago when i had a panic attack after smoking some pot.off and on since that attack ihave guarded what thought or word would come into my mind thinking that the longer the irrational thoughts,words or impulses i would act on them.an example would be to jump off ahigh place or if aword l ike ]ump or spit ,anyhing like that iwould act on it over the years these episodes last 2to3 monthsand the occurenses have been about 10 timeswhere it is constant obsessingabout losing control.these episodes would happen every several years now there coming every several months.i am back on medication[50 mg of paroxitine] which hasnot started helping yetbut it has in the past.in the past this condition would go away but now after i quit the medication it comes back.my question is ,is this g.a.d or o.c.d .i have no compulsions and should i take this medicine for the rest of my life
