Hi there! My first question would be: Is your psychiatrist or medication provider specifically trained in OCD? That can make a big difference and would be a great place to start. I’d also gently caution against seeking specific medication advice from the community. While we’re all here to support one another, we're not trained to recommend medications—and what works for one person might not be right for another. Reaching out to a qualified provider who understands OCD can really help guide you in the right direction. You’ve got this!
At this point I feel like I need to get on something ASAP. I know that therapy is a long road and hard work and I am totally down to do it but in the short term (I just started this journey) I think I need pharmaceutical help. Some of the people closest to me agree. I have never been on meds before and it's scary AF but the road I am going down is scarier. Advice?
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
Hi hi, my therapist recommended i look into medication options to help with my treatment. i want to try meds, but im a little weary after an evil zoloft experience,, though that could just be that zoloft is generally evil lol. what are your guy’s experiences (good or bad) w meds/what did you take? i know they aren’t a sole solution but im looking for all the help i can get. thank you!!!
