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.
I am having a really hard time with ocd and anxious thoughts and feeling extremely uneasy. I'm home alone today so it's really easy for me to get stuck in my thoughts. I'm on day 4 of prozac. I felt like yesterday I had a period of time of about 30 minutes where I felt really focused and like the anxiety lifted completely. But then an obsession started and it brought me right back down. Hopefully I feel relief again today. I'm going to go get some house work done to take my mind off of things. Does anyone have any first hand experiences with prozac? How long until you felt any relief? Any really bad side effects? Any unforseen pluses? Much appreciated.
Does it help with the thoughts?how's ur experience with it?
Hi everyone, I’m new to the community. I was diagnosed with OCD just a couple of months ago and have been doing some reading and other research to try and understand the disorder. With this, I have been actively seeing a great therapist who has been helpful to build tools to deal with my intrusive thoughts ( contamination OCD is my worst theme). Do help learn to deal with the compulsions, I start on Sertraline or “Zoloft” I believe since November 2024. Currently I’m on 50mg and have been doing this for just over a month. My question for those who are also taking Sertraline and it has been successful, how do you know it has really provided a benefit and how long did it take to get there? I sometimes feel the medication works, and sometimes I feel it doesn’t (maybe that’s my OCD trying to mess with things). Thanks!
