Is Medication Worth It For OCD?

It has for me also I couldn’t live without it 

Yes, definitely helps but it takes weeks to kick in. Sometimes you might even feel worse at first but that passes. I’ve only tried SSRI’s and Xanax. Xanax can help you while you get on an SSRI before it kicks in

I'm on beta blockers, a part of my ocd/anxiety leads to a feeling in my chest and I think I have a fast heartrate. I just take one a day and while it doesn't fix anything I find I think it takes the edge off a little. 

Fwiw, I'm undiagnosed in regards to ocd but I'm like, 90% certain. Though I have been told by therapists it's definitely anxiety- and ocd is an anxiety disorder soo (the therapy wasn't very intensive, just a 6 week cbt thing)
