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.

Medication (Prozac)
I am having a really hard time with ocd and anxious thoughts and feeling extremely uneasy. I'm home alone today so it's really easy for me to get stuck in my thoughts. I'm on day 4 of prozac. I felt like yesterday I had a period of time of about 30 minutes where I felt really focused and like the anxiety lifted completely. But then an obsession started and it brought me right back down. Hopefully I feel relief again today. I'm going to go get some house work done to take my mind off of things. Does anyone have any first hand experiences with prozac? How long until you felt any relief? Any really bad side effects? Any unforseen pluses? Much appreciated.

Medication
So I have been diagnosed with GAD and OCD and my psychiatrist prescribed me with zoloft 🤔 but I dont know im really hesitant to start medication because im scared of the side effects and ik afraid of relying on a medication for a long time. Does anyone else take zoloft? What is it like? Any side effects?
