I wish I could do a poll on here.

I don’t take meds, however it’s a personal choice for me. I can’t take meds due to the anxiety it causes me and if it isn’t a cure all then I don’t see the point (for me) but I’m sure for others it’s great.

Zoloft

I am not taking any meds currently, as I'm trying to do what I can without meds. I would be interested to know about people's thoughts on side effects. That something that has been a concern for me when talking about meds. I don't have any specific reason to be concerned, I just don't want to have side effects. Particularly when the meds list sexual side effects. I've never had those issues and I don't want to introduce something that comes with that possibility.

Hey Ryan, I am currently on medication. I started with Prozac, then switched to Zoloft, and have now landed on Vilazodone. I ended up doing a GenSight genetic test to receive data as to what medications would work best for me based off of my genetic make up. Turns out Prozac and Zoloft were on the list of medications I should not be taking. Vilazodone was on the list of meds I COULD take with the least amount of side effects. Have felt very good since starting it. Medication doesn’t solve OCD and I have relapsed a bit this week, but there are ups and down in recovery. Progress is the most important.

I have been on Prozac for 2 months with little improvement, I just had my dosage increased from 20-30 mg and it has made a huge difference with just that small increase. Sometimes it takes a while to find the dosage/medication that's therapeutic for you.

I just did a genetic testing and stats I need to take Zoloft or Luvox. Currently the medication I am on how is not working so can I did the testing. Praying it helps. I would discuss with your therapist or a Dr and discuss your issues & concerns. Pros & cons. Good Luck and keep us posted.

Been taking 60 milligrams escitalopram. Only side affect is that if I forget to take it then I get a headache, and it works well other than that. Hand washing is still kinda bad and POCD occasionally flares but that’s about it.
