Medications for ocd

I used to be on Lexapro, but it also stopped working for me and then I switched to Zoloft (Sertraline). I just increased my dose to 100mg tho since I just bought a house and was having suicidal OCD because of all the stress. My doctor said we could even go to 150mg if I am still not feeling great in a month. It’s normal to increase your dose at times of stress. I also have a 15 month old and struggled with postpartum OCD, but thankfully it got a lot better with the medication. Hang in there mama ♥️

I am on Effexor XR, and it has honestly changed my life for the good. Medication has allowed me to learn new coping mechanisms, bring me back to reality and get out of the dark hole I was in once. I used to take 75 MG, I lowered the dosage now by half and am aiming to completely get rid of it by next year. The side effects were almost non-existent for me. If you have more questions on my medication pls let me know!

I was put on 200 mg of fluvoxamine about five years ago and it changed my life for the better so much so that I thought I could taper myself off because I was feeling so good. I was ok for about four months and then had a bad relapse and ended up in the hospital for four days. Ive now been back on for about five weeks and I'm feeling much better. I think you should do well on 200mg.

Hey hey! I just did something similar, tapered Prozac 80mg to now fluvoxamine 300mg. I feel like my thoughts and mood is way better but like the actual physical ticks are worse, if that makes sense? It’s really frustrating. Prozac worked really well for me for about 10 years before it started to lose effectiveness. Anyway I hope the Luvox starts working better.
