Advice?
It was suggested to me to try prozac to help with my GAD so I can better fight the ocd. Anyone have experience with that medicine? I used to be on Paxil (made me very tired) and Buspar (made me dizzy)

Hi. I am currently on it. I am on my 3rd week. I was on Lexpro before after having my son. I was on it for 3.5 years. It was life changing. I had my daughter and couldn't take the side effects this time of lexapro and my doctor put me on prozac. It's been good so far. Looking forward to the next couple weeks.

I just switched from Luvox 3 weeks ago and it is taking time to kick in. Ive taken Prozac in the past and found it did help with the GAD. My only complaint right now is the indigestion and nausea but I read that could be due to the fact I take the coated capsules and not the tablets. Ive always had good luck with Prozac so I am hoping it will be just as helpful now.

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
