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. :)
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.
