Hello everyone!🙃 I would like to ask what medication do you take? I take Sertraline 125mg in the morning and combine it with Quetiapine 50 mg in the evening. I take these two AD for OCD - it really helped me a lot in many ways but there are still many many bad things making me hard time. Thank you for answering.
Sertaline 75mg in the morning. Estradiol 0.75mg -I’m 57 so it is part of my mental health regimen- without it I have crushing sadness and worse anxiety. The meds help take the edge off but the real treatment for fighting my OCD is ERP.
@Erin P Thank you
I take 200mg of Zoloft/Sertraline at night, and 300mg of Wellbutrin in the morning.
@blazed Thank you
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.
Medication for OCD? Hello all, 19 male here, this seems like a cool community that isn’t nearly as triggering as reddit. I have pretty severe bouts of existential thinking or fear of going crazy ( psychosis ) after some pretty heavy mushroom trips a few years ago, I know logically I should be fine but I do know what it’s like to lose it and it’s scary. Currently I deal with relationship focused OCD, it’s all day from before I even open my eyes. I want things to work out with my girlfriend badly. Also I can come close to a panic attack sometimes which perpetuates everything. Anyway, I mention the fear of going crazy because the way my anxiety/derealization makes me feel is that I’m not mentally stable cause I feel out of it or unreal. I saw that a lot of anxiety and depression medication can cause psychosis and I feel like I could use some help in getting ahead of my OCD because the compulsions are had not to give into when I’m in such distress/not knowing. Plus overall I just feel like I have no idea how I feel about close to anything. Anyone relate about that ?
I just got diagnosed with ocd and she suggested I think about taking lexapro for it. Has anybody tried that and does it help at all?
