Hello everyone I was recently diagnosed with OCD. I’ve spent the last ten years battle extreme anxiety and obsessive thoughts. I recently started taking Prozac. For once in my life my mind feels calm. However, they just upped my dose and my anxiety is bad and I’m having trouble sleeping this is week 2 on the medication. Anyone else experienced this?
OCD alone attacks my sleep, and medication has too. What are your thoughts about?
Hello, anyone have experience with Prozac? I’m on 20 right now, was started on 10 initially, very uncomfortable and anxious. I know I’ll need to up it but also need to give it some time, only been on it a few weeks. Anyone find that it really helped them and at what dose seemed to be best. My ocd is intrusive/ distressing thoughts. Thank you
I’m Farley new to being diagnosed wirh Ocd my entire life I was called a hypochondriac because I was always obsessing thinking I had all these things wrong w me , eventually after I had my daughter turned into obsessing of her health when I finally knew something was wrong was when I became obsessed with “kill your daughter “ sentence in my head over and over again crying scared , eventually got help been on meds for a year low dosage recently it just came back because I’ve been stressed out and got triggered my doctor increased my medication did anyone else notice more anxiety when increasing your ssri for the first couple weeks? 😭
After many years of thinking I might have ocd, it’s official. It is nice to feel seen and to have an answer finally but it’s also really scary, mostly because I’m about to start Prozac and I’ve never taken any mental health medications. Anyone have experiences to share? I’m so scared of the side effects but I know I need to start something. My provider suggested finding a support group as I have no family and friends to support me during this time, right now I’m feeling very scared and alone 😔
