Medication for OCD
What medications are you all on or have been on? Experiences? Side effects? What has worked and what hasn’t?

Fluvoxamine and Hydroxyzine. Interesting thing I heard: Fluvoxamine studies with covid have shown it helps to lessen the illness. I had a high fever with the omicron variant. But not much other than a sinus congested that lasted a week or so. Maybe being on Fluvoxamine helped?
I doubt having the 2 doses of the Pfizer vaccine before getting covid did anything.
@Torture survivor Interesting! Thanks for the advice. Did you find that fluvoxamine worked well?
@Anonymous243 Fluvoxamine seems to work for me
@Torture survivor Im glad! Maybe it could work for me too.
@Torture survivor Omg I’m just starting this medication and idk why I find this kind of hilarious
@edelweiss Hilarious in what way?
@Torture survivor I just didn’t expect one of the side effects of my meds to be less covid symptoms 😭
@edelweiss I heard about it through doctor interviews on social media. You won't hear about it on corporate news. They were wrong about ivermectin and the FDA was sued and lost for pushing disinformation about it.
@edelweiss You probably haven't heard about that. Read this article.... https://www.biopharma-reporter.com/Article/2024/04/02/FDA-settles-ivermectin-lawsuit-removes-contentious-COVID-19-posts#:~:text=%E2%80%9CFDA%20loses%20its%20war%20on,plaintiffs%2C%20said%20in%20a%20statement.
@Torture survivor Interesting! Yeah I didn’t know about this.
Currently on Zoloft and loving it. Little bit of nausea at first with it, but i take it with food and that has helped. I was on Effexor before and it zapped my personality
@Anonymouslyhere I did not like the side effects of Effexor!
Tried Lexapro, Zoloft, and Effexor. Didn’t really notice a difference, besides Effexor where I had negative side effects. My psychiatrist hasn’t been the most creative to finding solutions and has opted to put me on more addictive meds. So, I’ve got a new psychiatrist, he seems cooler already just by our first meeting. I’ll let you know how it goes lol.
@edelweiss Good luck with your new psychiatrist! My old one sucked too lol. Ive also tried lexapro and zoloft and didnt see much different. Hope you can find one that works, don’t give up hope
Zoloft aka Sertaline. No side effects really. Just tired when I started it for a few weeks
@Emmnala Thank you for the comment!
Zoloft and recently added buspar
@Mamachels88 I hope it goes well! Thanks for comment
