I was on lexapro while pregnant. Remember it takes awhile for medicine to work. Clomipramine is the medicine I was on for 8+ years and am on again. It helps me get out of rumination traps much easier and makes me less obsessed with answering questions

I started at 10mg, went to 15, and am now at 20. I do find it’s helping more at this dosage.

I’m on 20mg. It takes a while but it’s helped a lot.

Medication
Can people please share their experiences on very low dose medications for their OCD? Maybe ones that have worked well with little side effects? Anything is helpful & thank you

Medication and shame?
Anyone take medication for OCD? The only medication I take is adderall but I had to stop due to heart issues so now my anxiety and intrusive thoughts are also back and adhd symptoms. My psychiatrist recommended I take antidepressants for my OCD like lexapro. The thing is I never ever thought I would take medication in my life. Here I am suffering from these mental illnesses which is also something I never thought would happen to me. I notice people that have OCD say that they wish they have taken medication sooner made life easier too but idk I’m still hesitant about it. How long do I have to take it for? Do I or should I take medication for OCD with therapy? Overall no adhd meds rn and man I feel so low and depressed lacking motivation and also overwhelmed thinking of doing other work related things.

Has anyone tried sertraline/zoloft for their ocd?
I’ve been prescribed this but I have never taken medication and I’m really scared of getting worse? Has anyone got a positive story for this? Thank you
