Do any of you take this medication? If so, what dose?

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.

prozac stories
can anyone give me some insight on this? i was given 20 mg of prozac by my doctor to help me calm down while i wait for a psychiatrist appointment for ocd (i went in for an ekg because i was worried. nothing was wrong) yesterday was the 2nd dose, should i expect anything? i almost feel like it keeps me up at night since i take it around 7 pm, and i already have been sleeping poorly for a week or so.

New diagnosis
I just got diagnosed with ocd and she suggested I think about taking lexapro for it. Has anybody tried that and does it help at all?
