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.

Escipalopram is very good for me. In a higher dosis.

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

Medication for ocd
I have been taking Prozac 40mg daily it seems to be helping my ocd . I read that 60-80 mg has seemed to help people more with ocd Wondering if anyone has any experience with this. Thanks

They recommend me medication for my severe OCD
Hi. I’m writing this post because I don’t know if I should be medicated again. Lexapro worked well for me, but I gained like 30 pounds. I quit because of that and honestly I thought I was able to manage my OCD well better. I was wrong, it got worse again. I wish I can do this without medication…that’s why I expose myself everyday, doesn’t matter how drained and exhausted I get. Are you guys medicated or trying to go without medicine. How is it going for you guys? Many hugs for all of you. We got this.

Medication
Hi all, I’m curious is anyone taking medicine for their OCD and if so which one and is it helping? I’ve been on Prozac for almost 7 weeks and I just don’t think it’s doing much. I’m only on 30mg so perhaps I need to get to 40.
