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.

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.
