Anyone else taking sertraline or any other ssri?

I’ve been taking sertraline, really worked for my OCD, it’s stopped anxiety and intrusive thoughts. I was in a terrible mental loop - this drug has given me my life back

I’m 10 weeks in now. Started on 50mg for 4 weeks then upped to 100mg. Anxiety got worse at first, after about 7/8 weeks things got better and just keep getting better

@AB-xoxo Awesome, I'm on day 2. Noticed I'm sweating more than usual. Have you experienced any side effects? I @smrook129 Sorry to hear. I've struggled with anxiety and coming off medication. It can be very rough. @Mariana Great to hear, and glad they're working for you. Interesting to hear about clomipramine for the first time. Thanks @js94 Glad to hear they're making a difference

I hope it’s working for you though!

Awesome. Yes I get dry mouth and the jaw thing too. Have been some minor heart palpitations but no where near panic attack level and not accompanied by anxiety

Yes I take fish oil and vitamin d. So far so good. Amazing, enjoy!

Prozac. I came off of it for about 5 days because I was waiting for a doc appointment and my OCD has been awful even tho I was only off of it for that short time. Doctor told me to give it another week.

Luvox!

I take sertraline

I’m taking sertraline...no luck so far with it.

I take 200 mg

I take another medicine too( though i do not know the name in english) and they really helped me, im much better now

@smrook129 What dosage were you on? Did you gradually lower the dosage before coming off? @js94 Whats been ylur experience of Luvox? How long have you been taking it? What dosage? @Mariana How long have you been taking sertraline? What dosage are you on? Whats been your experience so far? @kali Thanks, I've just started taking it yesterday. What dosage are you on? Do you take any other medication along side including natural/herbal remedies? @ElaineP Awesome, thanks for sharing @Mariana What dose did you start on? How are you finding your current dose? Whats the other medication for?

I take sertraline. It’s been a god send so far and I’m only on day 6 ? my mind is so much more rational and clearer and I can finally stop myself catastrophising and doing compulsions

I was on 40 for about 3 years. I did every other day for about 5 days then was without it completely for about 5 days. Never again. This has been so awful. And I know I'm supposed to just let the thoughts pass and not engage with them but it's so hard when they give me so much anxiety.

I started taking sertraline september last year and my first dose was 100 mg. Im now taking two pills of 100 mg, and I am much better than I was last year! The other medication is called cloripamine and is also for ocd, it was what actually made the most difference i believe. I take 75mg of cloripamine. My experience so far with both medications has been very positive and thay helped a lot with the intrusive thoughts!

* clomipramine

I like luvox just makes me tired im on 200 mg of luvox and 7 mg of abilify. I like them both. Definitely made a difference. Ive been on luvox for about 8 weeks now

Yes the first 2 nights I would wake up sweating and couldn’t get back to sleep. I also had dry mouth and found that my jaw was clenching up (weird). My anxiety was slightly higher but I think that was partly due to going on holiday. Day 4 I began noticing a positive difference and every day is up from there

I read some research that taking vitamin d and omega 3 fish oil supplements increase the effectiveness of antidepressants

I do actually take fish oil usually and I’m on holiday right now getting a lot of sun so maybe that’s why they’re working so well for me!
