depression meds

My doctor prescribed me Zoloft and it definitely helps! I do ERP and take medication and the Zoloft I feel makes ocd a bit easier to handle.

It absolutely depends on the person. You have to give medication a try and see if it works for you.

I am taking Prozac and it took a bit of time but I don’t struggle with depression as much. I’m not debilitated by it and can understand how to enjoy certain things in life again

I'm switching from pristiq to cymbalta. Pristiq helped until it didnt

Im just getting back on citalopram after coming off of it for a few years. It did help for many years. As far as anti anxiety meds, I had been on ativan, diazapam, and klonopin at different times throughout the years. Ativan ended up giving me panic attacks. I think klonopin/clonazapam helped best, especially when limiting to emergency cases, like a small dose maybe once a week if needed. It does help calm anxiety. Benzos can be highly addictive and withdrawals can be deadly, so you have to be very careful.

i take buspar 2x day 7.5mg each but it's actually for anxiety . my boyfriend takes lexapro 20mg

i come from a long line of family of addiction, i seriously couldn't even look at the pill bottle in The beginning, I had to switch it from the pharmacy jar to a vitamin C jar and convince myself it was just vitamin C when I told my therapist that she said that was an exposure I was going to have to work on so now I keep the pill bottle on my bathroom counter and look at it and say it's fine and this is something i'm just going to do for a while. 7.5 is good for me sometimes if i'm really anxious i will take one more afternoon and night time but that is only because it was okayed by my doctor if needed! buspar helps a lot for me esp if i have spinning thoughts , when i take it it will cool it down in the first 90 mins . xoxo try a slightly higher dose even 7.5 is VERY LITTLE
