It does sound a lot more tolerable than I anticipated, does it Outgoingocd! It would also be a good opportunity to speak to other people experiencing severe OCD. I’m so grateful to have found this app, before I’d only ever spoken to one person with OCD. Thank you!! d a i s y

Ive never experienced it but I think it could have the potential to be very beneficial, although it does sound a little uncomfortable

Daisy, while probably overwhelming, it sounds like a great opportunity. Best of luck! :)

I did something called partial hospitalization. Sometimes it’s also called intensive outpatient. Basically it’s all the day groups and meetings with therapists and psychiatrists but you get to go home at the end of each day. I will say that a general inpatient unit is usually not trained on the nuances of OCD. I’m not sure what country you are in, but I would look up intensive outpatient treatment programs or residential programs on iocdf.org that are focused specifically on OCD

Hi Daisy, I have done inpatient and partial. I also take an antidepressant augmented with an antipsychotic... this does. Not mean you are psychotic.

Your doctor is most likely using it as an adjunct to your other medication. Ask your doctor why he has chosen it for you.

Thank you everyone! I live in Australia and will have to attend the inpatient clinic in Melbourne, a 3 hour flight from my home. It’s OCD specific, the reason I have to travel so far is because there aren’t any OCD specific treatment facilities in my area at all! Yeah my psychiatrist let me know that augmenting can enhance the effect of the SSRI :) she also said I’m on a much lower dose than that of someone experiences psychosis, so I’m not worried about that. Thanks so much for your responses :))

If you’re voluntarily checking yourself in, I wouldn’t worrying about the label of in vs out, this is your choice it’s just the way the clinic will best benefit you. It sounds amazing actually - like an OCD retreat or rehab or summer camp :) good luck and let us know how it goes!!

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?

Medication (Prozac)
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.

Zoloft question
Hello last year I had gone thru a very rough time In my life where I needed to be put on Zoloft 50mg around march 2024. I was diagnosed with anxiety, depression and OCD. Ive been suffering from OCD since I was like 11 and depression since I was 19, but I never sought help until last year Im 27 because I knew I needed it to help me get thru life. I was on 3 months on Zoloft and I went to a trip to Miami which honestly helped me so much, I honestly attribute that trip to Miami in healing me more than the Zoloft it self. I met my current girlfriend there. After coming back I felt like a new person. I still kept taking the Zoloft 50mg until late April (2025) this year when I decided to tapper down to 25mg by my self without a doc recommendation, I didn’t feel anything during the month of may this year until like may 30th when I woke up in a panic and I felt like I was back at square 1 before I started Zoloft. Mind you ive been thru some life changes, I recently graduated RN school and my gf moved in with me. Ever since the end of may I’ve been very anxious, my OCD is on high gear and my depression too. I went back up to 50mg I’m seeing a new doc, my questions is has anyone gone thru a similar situation? If so what helped you and how long did it take you to stabilize ?
