Tough choice

Today, I got new meds for my OCD. If I don't take them at 8 a.m. every morning with a full meal, I won't sleep for 3 days. Goodbye lay ins. FML

Have a chat with your psychiatrist maybe? They may be able to prescribe you a less strong dosage so you don’t have to eat a whole entire meal or you might be able to agree on a different time to take it.

So if it’s one a day, why did you start it so early in the morning? When I got a prescription to be taken once a day with a meal, I started taking it when I normally would be eating dinner (around 6pm).

All you have to do is establish a routine. Shouldn't you be pretty good at that? Ironically, if the meds work, you won't be such a slave to routine, and you'll stop taking them correctly which will bring the OCD back. And then the cycle begins again. I'll tell ya -- those pharmaceutical people are geniuses!

Maybe it's the type of pills that makes you all energetic right after taking it, then sleepy after twelve hours?

Could be, but even if it is like that, start taking it at a time convenient for them. If 8am is too early, start at 10

If you can't sleep later in the day, go to bed earlier at night and make up the difference.

This sounds like bipolar/manic traits. You need anti anxiety meds, not for OCD, but a mood stabilizer for the large swings. But I think you need more than meds for OCD.
