I do!! I started it in July! I feel like it may have helped the insane anxiety I was having for a little bit, but then it seemed like my anxiety was spiking again, so I’m trying Prozac now, but I’m still in the transition process.
I see! Thank you for sharing your experience. I am on lexapro right now but it caused me to gain a lot of weight so I’m going to try Luvox and see if it helps with maintaining my OCD but also helping maintain healthy weight
@Jaden5 very best of luck to you, angel!!! i hope it is EXACTLY what you need!
@ac_adams (she/her) Thank you friend!! I hope Prozac goes well for you ❤️❤️

Yay!! Let me know how it goes :))
Yep, been taking it every day since 1997.
Hey friends, I hope you all are well. I just wanted to check in and ask people's experiences about being on medication. I have had OCD pretty much my whole life, just got recently diagnosed 4 months ago and my therapist recommended that I get on meds for it so I have a psychiatrist appointment set up. I'm a little apprehensive about getting on them, but I've realized that I do have some sort of chemical imbalance in my brain that plays a part in my OCD and anxiety. I would love to hear anyones experiences or words of encouragement. Thank you, I hope you all are well.
I just got diagnosed with ocd and she suggested I think about taking lexapro for it. Has anybody tried that and does it help at all?
I was diagnosed with OCD and I started Prozac 10 days ago. I have struggled with intrusive taboo sexual thoughts for 12+ years (I’m 24) but now I feel like it’s turning into feelings. I’ve never done anything to anyone or nor do I wish to ever. I am just scared of my own brain if this is something I actually want. My psychiatrist said I should feel better/start getting clarity after 2 weeks. But I keep feeling worse and worse. Anyone else has experience with Prozac and how it went for them?
