Does fluoxetine work for you?

Thank you!

Yes I am!

@misereri Is it helping?

@RudyA So far it's making me super sleepy and I got less appetite. But at night like I feel hyperactive and sometimes I cant stop laughing or smiling for no reason

@misereri Feeling sleepy or feeling like u got a lot of energy & headaches is normal it happens whenever u take a high dosage or when it's your first time taking them

@RudyA Idk if it's working tho I guess I need to wait more time

@misereri Yeah Of course it may take months for you to get used to them but your a strong person you got this

@RudyA Thanks

@RudyA You too!!!

@misereri Thank you so what other meds are you taking?

@RudyA Rn I'm only taking that but I'll have an appointment in 14 days to talk about it

@misereri Oh ok I understand is it like a perception appointment for a refill or is like to increase the dosage?

@RudyA It's to understand what I'm supposed to do going forward, like changing meds etc

@RudyA For the dosage I'm supposed to go up with time

@misereri Oh ok gotcha bc for me I have a monthly zoom meeting with someone who prescribes my medicine rn I'm takeing 100ml for anxiety & for obsessive rituals from ocd

@misereri Have you tried neural feedback?

@RudyA Nope

@RudyA Basically I had to start to take meds a month later but I am lowkey urgent and they decided I needed to take them now and so that's what I'm doing until the next meeting to discuss my diagnosis

@misereri Oh ok I hope that you have insurance so they won't charge you alot is cause I use to have medicade but now I have medicure so is a different story bc I had to change to a different Healthcare program & also have to make sure my current insurance covers my treatments but yea not sure if it's something you also had

@RudyA I'm in Europe and it's actually free, you pay like 3 dollars for 60 ml of fluoxetine of course on prescription. But therapy is free up until when ur 26

@misereri Oh wow that's crazy

@misereri Btw if you don't mind me asking how old are you?

@RudyA I don't mind I'm 18, wbu?

@misereri Ok cool cool the reason why I asked is because I feel comfortable talking to people at my age range 18 & up this is ocd related not sure if you have the same thing

@misereri I'm 24

@misereri So how's your day?

@RudyA Yes dw I get it ! I mean I guess mine is related to ocd too? They confirmed I have intrusive thoughts and fluoxetine is usually for ocd. I am still waiting for the results in 14 days tho so it could be anything..I just find myself having a lot of similarities with ocd

@RudyA Actually I went to the center I go to and talked to the psychiatrist that follows me and he told me that was his last day there and I'm actually pretty sad about it because I don't know I saw him as my savior or something familiar..

@misereri Yea I get that feeling last year I had a great therapist we talked about my ocd how I manage my friendships & all these other important things but unfortunately i stopped seeing this man bc I got my insurance changed he couldn't accept medicure I knew this man for a year a I kinda with i had him again as a therapist

@RudyA I get it, it's always so sad tbh..

@misereri Yeah so what other types of ocd u have?

@RudyA The ones on my profile mostly and I just am fed up with them

@misereri Same I just wish I knew what life would be like if I never had ocd

@RudyA Like I never had this problem before, I had many others but this? Never like in my life I thought I could sit here rn having whatever this is. I'm not saying I felt super happy but definitely better than this and it feels like there's never one way out.

@misereri There is is just gonna take time I'm halfway getting better bc I know I will heal from ocd I'm here for you if you need anything

@misereri I'm glad that we having these conversations I'm glad I'm not the only one so do you wanna be close friends?

@RudyA Yeah sure!

@RudyA How tho?

@misereri Hey are you okay I wanna someone to talk to are you there?

@RudyA Yes
