Prozac
Anyone on Prozac? If so, what does? I see conflicting things about the therapeutic dose for OCD. Most things I read say 40-80 mg, but I know everyone responds differently Let me know ! ❤️

What dose *****
Mine is 20 mg, which is in the normal range.
@Nashaly Does it help you?
@SophieSnow Yes
It wholly depends on the person, so it’s best to try it out with your psychiatrist and see how you react to it.
I take 40 but am thinking about getting it upped to 60. It depends on the person. :)
@SydneyLRJ Has it been helpful for your ocd ? :)
@SophieSnow It definitely helped get me to a place where I could do erp therapy properly. The med by itself helps some what but adding therapy made it was more effective. :)
Hey friends, I hope you all are well. I just wanted to check in and ask people's experiences about being on medication. I have had OCD pretty much my whole life, just got recently diagnosed 4 months ago and my therapist recommended that I get on meds for it so I have a psychiatrist appointment set up. I'm a little apprehensive about getting on them, but I've realized that I do have some sort of chemical imbalance in my brain that plays a part in my OCD and anxiety. I would love to hear anyones experiences or words of encouragement. Thank you, I hope you all are well.
Medication for OCD? Hello all, 19 male here, this seems like a cool community that isn’t nearly as triggering as reddit. I have pretty severe bouts of existential thinking or fear of going crazy ( psychosis ) after some pretty heavy mushroom trips a few years ago, I know logically I should be fine but I do know what it’s like to lose it and it’s scary. Currently I deal with relationship focused OCD, it’s all day from before I even open my eyes. I want things to work out with my girlfriend badly. Also I can come close to a panic attack sometimes which perpetuates everything. Anyway, I mention the fear of going crazy because the way my anxiety/derealization makes me feel is that I’m not mentally stable cause I feel out of it or unreal. I saw that a lot of anxiety and depression medication can cause psychosis and I feel like I could use some help in getting ahead of my OCD because the compulsions are had not to give into when I’m in such distress/not knowing. Plus overall I just feel like I have no idea how I feel about close to anything. Anyone relate about that ?
I just got diagnosed with ocd and she suggested I think about taking lexapro for it. Has anybody tried that and does it help at all?
