Prozac update

I used to get very irritable and have severe ocd, while I have only been on Prozac 3 weeks at only 10mg then recently 20mg. I have noticed that although my intrusive thoughts are still there, it’s more manageable like 30% more manageable and I’m hoping with time and if needed an increase of my dosage it could go to 50-90% more manageable. Anyone experience with ssri please share your experience dosage, name, how long it ok to kick in and how is your ocd now on the meds? Thank you

I’m on day 5 of Prozac and I’m noticing that it’s easier for me to stop ruminating. I still do it but I feel like I have more control over it. It’s probably too soon for me to notice any changes maybe it’s a placebo effect I don’t know but I do feel better.

I have cut down on some rituals, the thoughts are there but I’m able to let them go a bit faster or it’s more manageable I do think the medicine is making some improvements and the only side effect I have is dry mouth which I just drink water and electrolytes my personality is the same I’m not numb or zombie, my sleep is normal

@Anonymous I meant like I still have moments I’m bubbly hyper it has not made my mood flat, it has just decreased the ritual and anger part

I want to add I did a dna testing to see what anti depressant is best for me I think it was clarity x but there’s some I believe covered by insurance. I learned I can’t take Zoloft but Prozac and a few others were okay

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

Prozac?

In a great place with my OCD but had some lingering anxiety I couldn’t shake. Just started taking Prozac and am curious if anyone has taken it and what their experience has been. Currently I’m on day 3 and feeling tons of energy and am happy but not sure if that’s normal / will last.

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?
