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
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

Antidepressants
I have tried a few different kinds of antidepressants over the years, but it's always been hard to find one that works well for OCD and doesn't have horrible side effects. Does anybody have any recommendations of one that worked really well for depression and OCD??

Who is on Prozac and likes it?
So I’ve been off sertraline 50 mg for a couple months now after being on it for 3 years. I got off cuz I was getting bad side effects from it like gaining hella weight and low libido. My anxiety has been so bad so I’m considering trying Prozac since apparently the side effects are less. What’s your experience with it/does it help your anxiety from your intrusive thoughts? I mainly have just somatic ocd
