I have been considering takingeds for my OCD and I was wondering what has been most effective for you?

So far Luvox has been very helpful for me
I've heard a lot about that in the OCD communites I've been in, what dosage do you take?
@Twelve Squirrels in a Trenchcoat Yeah it’s similar in structure to lots of other ssris but has a greater affinity with ocd type thoughts for some reason. I’m interested in the pharmacology there lol. I’m still ramping up, right now I’m on 50mg daily. You start with 25 topically and my primary care tells me you’re supposed to keep ramping up over the course of a few months, not exactly sure what the final dosage will be
@anxiousmollusk Typically* not topically lol
i’m on lexapro and have heard lexapro is really good for OCD
Sertraline has been working really well for me so far! I take a 75 mg dosage daily.
I understand that everyone is different but lately I have been debating on medication just because of past experiences but does anyone have any good experiences with medication that has helped them with their OCD as well as therapy or treatment? As of now I’m dealing with it by myself but it feels like it may be getting worse
As my current mental health has definitely reached a new low, I will probably soon start with medication. However, since I am actually somewhat afraid of the typical side effects of antidepressants and mood-stabilizers, I wanted to ask anyone who is or has been taking medication for OCD and or depression (and mood-swings). I recently got also diagnosed with depression (I’ll be further tested for burnout) and I also suffer from pretty intense mood swings and anxiety, both really draining the last bit of energy that I currently have. You can honestly be as specific and descriptive as you want since I don’t know any people in my personal life that take any medication for their mental health and I’m genuinely curious about side effects, how long the different meds take to kick in, etc. The only meds I’m familiar with are beta blockers, specifically bisoprolol but I want to switch to propranolol.
Hey what’s up y’all Does anyone else have generalized anxiety along with OCD and is taking a low dose medication? I wanted to try something I’m not big on meidcation but it’s getting to a point that it’s really affecting my day to day even though I’ve been dealing with it for years and years
