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.

They recommend me medication for my severe OCD
Hi. I’m writing this post because I don’t know if I should be medicated again. Lexapro worked well for me, but I gained like 30 pounds. I quit because of that and honestly I thought I was able to manage my OCD well better. I was wrong, it got worse again. I wish I can do this without medication…that’s why I expose myself everyday, doesn’t matter how drained and exhausted I get. Are you guys medicated or trying to go without medicine. How is it going for you guys? Many hugs for all of you. We got this.

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.

Escitalopram experiences for OCD
Has anyone been prescribed Escitalopram for their OCD? And if so what was your experience like. I just got into my 2nd week of it and got bumped up to 20mg. Today has been weird because my anxiety is gone which has been for a bit but the thoughts seem stronger today especially the Harm related ones. Almost like commands now. Can anyone relate?
