@Anonymous I have felt the same way as you for many years. I reluctantly started at the lowest dose and Dr raised dosage slowly. Seems to be helping some. I had some anxiety side effects

My OCD was worse this past year when I was on 40mg of prozac, I went up to 60mg in the summer and my depression has gotten better but I'm still struggling with my OCD. I'm keeping the prescription at 60mg though and glad my psych suggested I increase my dose.

Everyone is different so you cant really compare meds. It has been documented that OCD sometimes needs a higher dose than would be recommended for anxiety or depression but that doesn't mean its true across the board. Im on a relatively low/mid range dose of my medication and its working great. You have to remember meds are the cure all, they are there to reduce the anxiety so you can do the work to treat your behavior. upping the dose wont make the OCD go away more if you're not doing the ERP and behavioral work along with it.

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
