@Anonymous Oh my! Thank you for sharing your experience.
Luvox is working!
Citalopram took the edge off, propranolol dealt with the anxiety. I’m on risperidone too but tbh I think that gives me anxiety.
Escipalopram is very good for me. In a higher dosis.
@Giulia90 Is that lexapro?
I’m on Sertraline right now and I’m not really sure if it’s helping but I know it’s giving me nightmares
Fluvoxamine 150mg . Think the anxiety symptoms are reducing but not the intrusive thoughts because when I have the thoughts my body isn’t reacting like normal and then I worry why i’m not reacting to intrusive thoughts as before 🤦🏻♂️ OCD is such a bully
Lexapro
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
Has anyone had success treating their OCD without medication and solely ERP or non-medicinal methods. I have pretty severe OCD and just about every sub-type, but I’ve been on various meds (SSRI & SNRIs) for going on 8 years and have never found one that truly relieves me of symptoms. I’m looking to see if it’s worth continuing with the side effects I experience (mostly mild) or if there are alternatives that could work for me. Low key tired of constantly changing meds in an attempt to find something that works when maybe medicine isn’t the route for me…
Can people please share their experiences on very low dose medications for their OCD? Maybe ones that have worked well with little side effects? Anything is helpful & thank you
