Viibryd , Prozac?

Hi!! Hope everyone has a good day today. I’ve noticed my ocd comes and goes, some times comes worse and sometimes I don’t feel it as much. I’ve had to rough weeks but I am feeling better. I am currently on viibryd 10mg and have been on it for almost 2 years. I feel my depression is better but my ocd sometimes is bad, she suggested to change to Prozac? Any comments about it??? Any side effects? Does it help? Thanks!

For me, Prozac worked better than Viibryd did (had to stop Viibryd due to side effects). Prozac worked really well for my ocd. I rarely had intrusive thoughts on it.

@Just_trying_my_best Thanks for letting me know! Did you gain weight on Prozac? How much did you take of viibryd and what side effects you had with viibryd? Appreciate the response 😅

@Anonymous I did gain weight. Typically people only gain a few pounds on Prozac. For me that wasn’t the case but there were other circumstances that caused me to gain weight. I had severe nausea and lightheadedness on 10 mg of Viibryd

Medication

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.

Experience with Prozac

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?
