Hey guys, I just upped my fluvoxamine to 100 mg. Does anyone have experience with Luvox that they wouldn’t mind sharing.

Luvox didn’t really work for me :( I’m on Zoloft now
@Anon112 I’m sorry it didn’t work out!

@Jyoriz If you don’t mind me asking. How has it helped?
I was on 150 mg for 2 years and stoped cold turkey a year ago haven’t looked back. As I further understand ocd I’ve learned to stop looking for a fix and that it is me causing my own problem riding and giving into the thoughts. Useing erp and cbt and that is what led me to stop the meds they where making me feel drugged the anxiety fear was gone but what’s life without those senses. This is what worked for me everyone
@rj11720 Thank you for your input!
I am having a really hard time with ocd and anxious thoughts and feeling extremely uneasy. I'm home alone today so it's really easy for me to get stuck in my thoughts. I'm on day 4 of prozac. I felt like yesterday I had a period of time of about 30 minutes where I felt really focused and like the anxiety lifted completely. But then an obsession started and it brought me right back down. Hopefully I feel relief again today. I'm going to go get some house work done to take my mind off of things. Does anyone have any first hand experiences with prozac? How long until you felt any relief? Any really bad side effects? Any unforseen pluses? Much appreciated.
Does it help with the thoughts?how's ur experience with it?
So, I’ve had my OCD mostly “under control” for the past 10 years (I’m 44, battled this all my life). I’ve been on a high dosage of Luvox, but unfortunately it’s lost its effectiveness about 6 months ago. For the past five months I’ve also been doing therapy sessions on this site and have had a fairly good outcome. My main obsessions have mainly regarded around balance and symmetry. Anyhow, I’m in the process of switching to Prozac. It’s only been 6 days, so I obviously feel nothing yet. I made the foolish mistake of googling “What can antidepressants cause?” Unfortunately I found a very recent article of a study showing antidepressant users have a higher chance of getting ALS. There’s also older articles that say the opposite. But this one article FREAKED ME OUT. And I can only focus on the worst outcome. So, now I’m stuck in a repetitive thought pattern of getting ALS from the one medication that is supposed to help me. It’s absolutely terrifying and I haven’t experienced a health anxiety fear like this in years. I want to research more and more online, but I know this won’t help. It will only make things worse. Anyone with health anxiety have any advice on how to conquer this? I’m standing strong and not getting off my medication or doing any research.
