Ocd Medication Success?
What has worked for you guys?

Sertraline helped me a lot but unfortunately I’m prone to medication allergies so I had to switch medications. I am currently on Clomipramine and it helps me a lot with managing flare-ups. I personally still have to put in a lot of work but it helps me to see things differently and work through ERP more effectively. I also have less severe flare-ups comparatively when I’m on Clomipramine. I hope that you find meds that work for you! There’s lots out there. 🫶
@JesusSaves424 And, to add, when I start having panic attacks (likely from OCD combined with my other mental health conditions), Hydroxyzine as-needed helps me so much. Helps me to calm down and rest.
I am on 75mg sertraline (or 100? I don’t remember) and I forget the dosage but vivance. The two work together well and my daily rumination ceases to exist most days now.. nights are a struggle without the vivance but hey.. I am working to conquer it. These work.
Magnesium and Sam-E
I’m on 100mg Zoloft. So far so good!
Hey everyone, I’m curious if anyone here is managing their OCD without SSRIs. I’ve personally struggled with side effects in the past such as low libido and emotional numbness. I have plans to have a family and kids in the future, so SSRIs don’t feel like a long-term solution for me—I’m especially afraid of PSSD (post-SSRI sexual dysfunction). Are any of you managing OCD with alternatives like Wellbutrin, SNRIs, Adderall, NAC, Myo-inositol or any other supplements. Even approaches like the ketogenic diet or other functional methods? I read some studies about how Keto diet has helped some people put their OCD in remission. I’d love to hear what’s actually working for you. Trigger Warning: Sometimes hearing that people can’t manage OCD without SSRIs can be discouraging, but I’m staying hopeful that there are sustainable alternatives out there. Thanks in advance for sharing.
Can people please share their experiences on very low dose medications for their OCD? Maybe ones that have worked well with little side effects? Anything is helpful & thank you
I have tried a few different kinds of antidepressants over the years, but it's always been hard to find one that works well for OCD and doesn't have horrible side effects. Does anybody have any recommendations of one that worked really well for depression and OCD??
