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?

@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.

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.

Medication for ocd
I have been taking Prozac 40mg daily it seems to be helping my ocd . I read that 60-80 mg has seemed to help people more with ocd Wondering if anyone has any experience with this. Thanks

Medication
Hi all, I’m curious is anyone taking medicine for their OCD and if so which one and is it helping? I’ve been on Prozac for almost 7 weeks and I just don’t think it’s doing much. I’m only on 30mg so perhaps I need to get to 40.

Prozac update
I used to get very irritable and have severe ocd, while I have only been on Prozac 3 weeks at only 10mg then recently 20mg. I have noticed that although my intrusive thoughts are still there, it’s more manageable like 30% more manageable and I’m hoping with time and if needed an increase of my dosage it could go to 50-90% more manageable. Anyone experience with ssri please share your experience dosage, name, how long it ok to kick in and how is your ocd now on the meds? Thank you
