Can anyone talk about there experience with Prozac and pure harm OCD I started mine today and want to know what I should be expecting ! I have like serve harm ocd. It’s at a very bad point right now.
I don’t have harm OCD but I have relationship, perfectionism, and pure ocd. I’ve been on Prozac for 6 years and I can honestly say that it saved my life. But it works differently for different people. A lot of people are on Zoloft and love it but when I got put on it, it made my symptoms worse. So you never know! The hardest part is waiting for it to work for 2 + weeks. Good luck and I hope it works for you like it does for me!! Thinking of you! 🙂
hey! i have harm ocd too. i started prozac a week ago. i can let you know that i’m exhausted, like all i want to do is sleep. as far as the harm intrusive thoughts, they are still there, but i don’t have as many headaches or intensity of fear. it can take some time for the medicine to really take effect.
can anyone give me some insight on this? i was given 20 mg of prozac by my doctor to help me calm down while i wait for a psychiatrist appointment for ocd (i went in for an ekg because i was worried. nothing was wrong) yesterday was the 2nd dose, should i expect anything? i almost feel like it keeps me up at night since i take it around 7 pm, and i already have been sleeping poorly for a week or so.
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?
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.
