Wanna hear something kind of funny. Well not really funny more stupid... grrrr.... A horror movie triggered my OCD, Blah... made me have a major depressive episode back in December 07 which I seem to have gotten better from. First off, I do not recommend watching this movie. In fact avoid at all costs if you have any anxiety issues. I was in remission from my OCD and anxiety symptoms at the time actually happy and peace. One of my neighbors had this great idea that we should watch the movie Hostell part II. He brought it over to my apartment, and I not knowing what it was, allowed him to put it on. Shortly after watching it, I started having flashbacks of the horrifying images portrayed in the movie, they would replay over and over. It was like being in a horror movie 24/7. I know that's retarded because nothing bad actually happened to me. It's actually kind of funny to me now, but I am still irritated that people can dream up and make movies so horrifying and evil, and make money off of it; Completely clueless that thier creation caused so much pain to someone else. Again I guess it's because my brain is jacked!!! Many thanks to the producer Eli Roth for triggering my anxiety disorder and taking away my happiness. I kind of wonder if the Zoloft I was taking at the time had somthing to do with my reaction to this movie. The movies was pretty horrifying though. Anyone else experienced anything similar? I have to laugh at myself for this one... but what I went through really sucked.

If any doctors or anyone can help here, especially about the meds causing a strange reaction like that to a horror flick... Let me know...When I explained my symptoms to my psychiatrist, she said it was possible PTSD from the movie and then started suggesting that I could be bipolar too and might need seroquel in addition to the antidepressent. I've got things under control now with my yoga practice and Zoloft, but I just thought it was a very strange reaction.... Only would something stupid like this happen to me *laughs*. Talk to me people! Let me know what you think!

Well, I am not sure if you need more meds. But I can tell you I saw the movie and it was creepy and sadistic to say the least. Not much of a story line and gore to the max!

Hope you continue to feel better. I'd say stay away from the creepy horror flicks. Saw is one of them too!
