I took zoloft (sertraline) 150mg per day for approx 4 years. This would generally be seen as a high dose of zoloft but not for OCD suffers; my Dr said up to 200mg would be appropriate for OCD. I completed Exposure Response Prevention therapy with an OCD specialist over the course of approx the first 2 years of zoloft. I'm now very well and have minimal symptoms that do not bother me. i'm off zoloft having tapered down very slowly and i am better than ever. Good luck ?
I’ve been on luvox for my ocd and it seems to have been the best fit for me! I’m also taking lamotrigine (sorry if spelling is wrong).
I use zoloft and clomipramine, but I heard that luvox is excellent and I would like to use it. What are your experiences with luvox
I’m supposed to start clomipramine in addition to my other medication, substituting it for the seroquel i take as needed to help me sleep or if i feel a panic/rage attack arising. I’ve been too afraid to start it though, what is your experience with it? And I began luvox about 4 years ago and it seems to quiet down my ocd the most as it really takes the edge off for me. I notice a negative difference if i dont take it. I have been in therapy on and off as well, I find that with the combination of therapy and my meds I see the most improvement in myself and DEFINITELY feel better overall. Hope this helps!
Does anyone have any good experiences with SSRIs for OCD?
Anyone have experience taking Luvox (Fluvoxamine) for their OCD?
Anyone on Prozac for ocd and does it help? Or anyone on Lexapro and it helps?
