Sertraline (50 mg), along with HRT (I’m menopausal) saved my life quite honestly.

@HyperAwarenessQueen Oh yes! 10000% worse! It’s still not great but I’m having more and more moments of clarity. When the hot flashes and night sweats hit, it’s intrusive thoughts and anxiety overload.

@HyperAwarenessQueen I hear you. You’re not alone. 🫂 There were times before meds that I was almost certain my intrusive thoughts were true. Now I can see past the outrageous stories my brain has been feeding me.

@HyperAwarenessQueen I had some blood tests done recently and found out that I had ZERO estrogen! None! My progesterone was also really low. No wonder my OCD has been overdrive since 2021.

@HyperAwarenessQueen Yeah, my doctor said she’s never seen anyone with a zero reading. Meno brain, I think I’ll borrow that term if you don’t mind. 😉

Citalopram took the edge off, propranolol dealt with the anxiety. I’m on risperidone too but tbh I think that gives me anxiety.

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

Anybody here on medication for their OCD? I know everyone’s experience is different, and different medications work differently for different people, but I’m just trying to get a pulse on what to expect. I’m seeing a psychiatrist soon and I’m hoping to get some meds going.

What is your alls experience with Medication?
I’m on and off with my OCD. It feels all too real at times, and nonexistent at others. I’m heavily considering going medication as i feel it may be what I need to breakthrough this spell. What is your alls experiences with meds and what did you take? Please share all the good, bad and in-between!
