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.

prozac stories
can anyone give me some insight on this? i was given 20 mg of prozac by my doctor to help me calm down while i wait for a psychiatrist appointment for ocd (i went in for an ekg because i was worried. nothing was wrong) yesterday was the 2nd dose, should i expect anything? i almost feel like it keeps me up at night since i take it around 7 pm, and i already have been sleeping poorly for a week or so.

New diagnosis
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?
