Anyone on Prozac for ocd and does it help? Or anyone on Lexapro and it helps?

I’ve been on Prozac since January 2021, and it’s provided the most relief, in addition to CBT for my OCD. I began on 20mg, increased to 40mg by the third month, and just now recently began the process to up it to 60mg.

Ive been on Lexapro for about 2 years and it’s been good! The best dose for OCD is 20mg.

@Bryce Ive noticed less intrusive thoughts, still quite a few but im able to recognize it instead of immediately spiraling and honestly my ability to maintain my mood is much better. Some days still suck don't get me wrong, but it helps me keep perspective

Medication
Hey friends, I hope you all are well. I just wanted to check in and ask people's experiences about being on medication. I have had OCD pretty much my whole life, just got recently diagnosed 4 months ago and my therapist recommended that I get on meds for it so I have a psychiatrist appointment set up. I'm a little apprehensive about getting on them, but I've realized that I do have some sort of chemical imbalance in my brain that plays a part in my OCD and anxiety. I would love to hear anyones experiences or words of encouragement. Thank you, I hope you all are well.

New diagnosis
I just got diagnosed with ocd and she suggested I think about taking lexapro for it. Has anybody tried that and does it help at all?
