I was between 150mg and 200mg, I was on it a year, it’s not as stimulating to get on as Prozac used to be for me, I felt more tired on it though and more foggyness, I just got off it about two months ago and went on Trintellix because I didn’t feel it was helping my depression as much, but it did help the ruminating and ocd. Is this your first med or just switching ?

@Schoolie93 I’ve been on mine for 5 years but I was on only 50mg. Now I went up to 150mg because I’m having a flare up of my OCD. I’m definitely feeling very blah, and I’m not sure if it’s the meds or just the crappy thoughts I’m having

@Bubbles:) I don’t know how old you are but when you get to a certain age as a woman a lot of these meds stop working as well for a season while we are going through perimenopause. Hormones really affect how the meds work as well, the way I knew I was in perimenopause was my Prozac was barely helping anymore, but definitely new stress in life can do it too

I started two months ago! I’m on 62.5….ill probably go up but I’m super sensitive to medicine. It has definitely helped in some areas but I can tell I need to increase/do the ERP and get through this “season” (ocd blah ness) of my life to really feel better altogether.

Luvox + Buspar
Has anyone else taken Luvox? How long did it take to work? I'm on day 26 or 27 and I am not feeling better. I almost feel like I've been worse. my psych says it takes time and I'm likely not worse, just need time for it to adjust but im scared. Ive been taking 75mg because we went from 25 to 50 to 100 and that seemed like too much so we went back to 75 and now we are going back to 100. We are also adding Buspar three times a day so hopefully that does something. Idk, I am trying to hold out but yesterday was so bad, I thought I was going to have to go to the hospital or inpatient care somewhere.

Feeling like I need to die…
I keep having a terrible feeling that I am going to die or I need to die. Almost as if my brain is telling me I need to kill myself. It’s hard to tell if I really want to do something like that. I know it’s wrong and I wouldn’t want to leave or upset my family. These feelings send me into an immediate spiral. My body starts having hot flashes and I start shaking pretty bad. I know my body is just reacting to thoughts. Does anyone else experience similar feelings/thoughts like this? I’m absolutely terrified everyday and don’t know what else to do. I recently started Fluvoxamine 50 mg 2 weeks ago and was put back on Abilify 2mg. I started the Abilify 3 days ago. I don’t feel anything as of yet.
