Medication

Does anyone have any experience with Prozac and how effective it is for intrusive thoughts? Does it help with the thoughts, sensations, urges?? I’m desparate this is not what I want for my life this is not who I want to be but OCD is making me feel that way. I’m so down right now because I’m afraid this is what I truly want because of all the thoughts, sensation, urges, etc. Someone please tell me I’m not alone in this….i just want to quit feeling like I’m some disgusting freak.

I recently read a book called “Break Free from Intrusive Thoughts: An Evidence-Based Guide for Managing Fear and Finding Peace” and she covers this exact topic and many others. One thing that made me feel so much better is knowing ocd attacks values that we hold dearest. The fact you are having these thoughts shows you want nothing more than to keep littles safe and would never intentionally hurt them in any way. This is why OCD is attached so heavily and it brings so much anxiety and discomfort. I struggle with suicidal ocd and to know ocd hits hard simply because I love life so much has been a great help…. Read this book and also check out the serenity method. I have had to add some random quirks to my thoughts and it’s helped not take them so seriously. Sending a giant hug

Experience with Prozac

I was diagnosed with OCD and I started Prozac 10 days ago. I have struggled with intrusive taboo sexual thoughts for 12+ years (I’m 24) but now I feel like it’s turning into feelings. I’ve never done anything to anyone or nor do I wish to ever. I am just scared of my own brain if this is something I actually want. My psychiatrist said I should feel better/start getting clarity after 2 weeks. But I keep feeling worse and worse. Anyone else has experience with Prozac and how it went for them?

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.
