Please tell me some Prozac success stories I’m starting it tomorrow! Feeling hopeful because I was doing ok on Zoloft and have been much worse since I’ve been off so we’re trying a new med.
I started taking it early in the pandemic when my anxiety was through the roof. It helped a lot but it took a few weeks to feel a difference.
Hi! I am actually on the same exact med journey as you. I am officially 2 weeks on prozac. I'll be truthful and say the first week, while my body was getting used to it, I was having increased anxiety and more panic attacks in a short amount of time. But that has started to stabilize and I'm noticing I'm able to gain control of those faster than I have in the past. And it will only get better with more time! I hope this one works great for you 🩷
@Anonymous Thanks for sharing! I hope it works out well for both of us! I’ve been on sertraline before, so I expect the first few weeks to be rough. Hopefully only better from there!
@RosemaryFlowers Ditto! Sertraline I feel like did more or less the bare minimum for me so fingers crossed prozac is the one for us. Best of luck 😊
I am currently on 60 mg took some time but I’m def feeling a difference for sure !
Yes I’m on Prozac right now at 50 mg and it works great for me. It does take a bit to work I’d say like a month to feel a difference
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.
I’m starting NOCD. I had several years of cbt as a child (well over 20 years ago) and I see a trauma therapist. But now I’ll be seeking further help for OCD and just really scared. CBT wasn’t helpful for me. How has ERP been helpful for you? Do you feel like you’ll finally get your life back? I’m consumed by my obsessions 😢 Would love others feedback if ERP helped you ❤️
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?
