I don't trust Big Pharma anymore
I don't trust Big Pharma either!. But ... I'll get to that later.
We are all slaves to sin before we have been washed by tye blood of Jesus. Sin has power over us, but when we receive Jesus, believe in our hearts that He died for our sins and rose from the dead on the third day, we will be saved and the curse of this sin, with it's power (addiction in any form) over us is broken.
Now, if you are already a born again Christian, this addiction should have been diffused and suffered a severe blow. It doesn't necessarily happen instantly, it can, with many, we need to cooperate with what the Holy Spirit is doing - healing. Ask for healing and deliverance from this evil. If you have not received confirmation by the Holy Spirit, Who communes with your spirit, that you have been saved, then the gift of faith has not been given to you yet.
However, the fact that you grieve over this and are reaching out to others is evidence that the Holy Spirit is grieving too - because you are falling into these old ways. You realize it is bad, and there was a time when you didn't -so something has changed.
That said, Big Pharma has helped people over the last century. There is corruption, it's about the money, but all the drugs aren't bad and some are helpful.
My grandmother had a chemical deficiency which made her Bi-polar and she was a Christian. People get sick due to chemical or nutritional deficiences. Anyways, she went off on occasion, got nuts, dark and really wasn't in control or in her right mind ...until she was given Lithium and like night and day, her personality changed. My mother commented and said , "Wow, this was the mother I remember 15 years ago". Lithium is a nutrient that we need, a trace mineral I think.
Well" that addresses Bi-Polar, which in her day was called "Manic-depressive".
However, there is no chemical or nutritional deficiency that leads one to Witchcraft.
So, you must dismiss thoughts and desires to go there.
I am not sure about OCD, if that is something that can be corrected by drugs. My 19 year old relative has this OCD. I just think he feels like he has to have it all or nothing. He wants everything on the menu. He asks for all the leftovers on everyone's plate at the table BEFORE he even eats his own. I think he was brought up with deprivation concerning food; always positioning himself for a bigger portion between four siblings who actually went hungry sometimes. So it was a survival mode that stuck. ???
I was taught that our personality starts to forms at 3 years old. The personality is a range of habits, a compilation of learned expressions, mannerisms, idiosyncrasies. We have our own, pick up some from our parents while we observe their mannerisms and so most of them are learned. OCD is a personality disorder maybe caused by conditioning ... at least my relative developed this dysfunctional trait that way. God designed us with talents, high or low intellect and strengths as well for a purpose.
Initially you are drawn to witchcraft because of it's power or whatever reason. You wanted the power, it was luring and still is. Jesus should have broken this power that actually enslaved you. Realize that.
***Form a prayer stating Jesus rebukes and defeats all mystical/witchcraft power over me and I will no longer participate! You must agree to participate in this dying to your old self - otherwise you really are being disobedient. If you believe in Jesus, that means you obey Him. Realize it is a sin to participate in witchcraft and say it out load. If you utter the name Jesus, Satan and all demons flee.
Pray it out load and believe it.

Very, very wise.

People do not like to support the concept of Fasting on any Christian Forum, but I can't emphasize enough how important it is to start it, especially if you have years of prescription meds in your system. It is possibly the BEST way to clear up your mind's functioning and purifies your body and spirit to boot.

Meds aren't the only source of harmful chemicals we are getting today. There are so many chemicals in the foods and drinks we ingest today it is unbelievable.

If you're not already, drink only clean water. Begin to skip meals and only have water until you can go an entire day without food. Then you can progress from there.

Take your time. Go slow. Do this once or twice a week until you can work up to a full day.

Once you are going a full day off food, only drinking water, then you can extend your regimen to once or twice a month.

Jesus encourages Fasting in Scripture. It is the BEST thing we can do today for the health of our bodies, minds and spirits.

Perhaps your meds are messing you up?
My doctor once wrongly diagnosed me and put me on anti-depressants even though I told her I wasn't depressed.
But I started taking them anyway and I was on a different planet for a while til I flushed them down the loo and gradually got my brain back.

Jabre, give yourself some slack on judging yourself. While you shouldn't engage in divination you do say you have some mental problems. Take it easy on yourself and just think of Jesus as much as you can when your thinking.

I'm back...but for the wrong reasons. I need help breaking a very strange addiction of mine...
So i hate witchcraft right? never would do it, never would approve of anyone else doing it...

Yet the enemy put a nagging doubt in my head, an excuse that supposedly lets it be ok...
that if i do it just in my head and don't act it out, they won't know and won't be able to act on it...so it won't have any effect. You can probably see where this is going.

Even though it's "all in my head", my conscience is grieved whenever i do it...yet i can't stop, i've become addicted to it somehow. It's like i can only want it unless i have some kind of objective reason why it's still evil this way...please give me an answer, and pray for me so i can break out of this.
Have you ever seen a doctor about a mental health evaluation to see about OCD?

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) - Symptoms and causes.

"OCD obsessions are repeated, persistent and unwanted thoughts, urges or images that are intrusive and cause distress or anxiety. You might try to ignore them or get rid of them by performing a compulsive behavior or ritual. These obsessions typically intrude when you're trying to think of or do other things."

well just when i thought i got better i got even worse...i'm truly vile

We are all vile--I am a contender for Chief of sinners, but we have a loving God, and people here who want you to get better. The Lord can help, but I'm just human and don't know what to do.
So let me ask you this: What would you like me to pray for for you? Is there something specific, or perhaps a silent request?
