If you have sudden onset ocd postpartum (mine isn’t about the baby or anything), does that get better with time once hormone level out within a year? Or are you stuck with it and have to stay on medications? I’m afraid I’ll be stuck with this my whole life now that pregnancy brought it out.
I still have it almost six years later. 😓
Omg are you serious? Are you on medication?
@Anonymous What is your ocd?
No and I have a ton of them.
Oh! Oh my gosh how come you aren’t some kind of ssri? You’ve been dealing with it for that long and haven’t tried it?
I tried it before but just didn’t have a good reaction to it. I felt like it made my anxiety worse.
It does at first before it gets better- I couldn’t tolerate Prozac or Zoloft . Tried Zoloft twice it drove me nuts I was crawling out of my skin. I’m on lexapro now just trying to get adjusted to the dose
@Anonymous Oh really? I’m just scared to take them I think. I barely take Tylenol. Probably bc of Health ocd lol
@Anonymous But Zoloft is what I took before and worked for me years ago. But this time I felt like it gave me anxiety. I thought it was me. So it could be just I need a different med?
@Bnd1 Yup I’ve alwyas been the same way. But I had no choice:/ you should try it again
I’m working on ERP now.
I’m doing it too but it isn’t working yet :(
I see some sneaky reassurance asking 🤪
