Reviews on Prozac for OCD? My psychiatrist said she’s found Prozac works best for OCD but I’m curious what people who have taken it think

It's works for OCD. and activate your brain ..no sideeffect. .it's so safe

All depends on the person. I’ve heard stories that it’s worked very well for some people. It didn’t really help me though, primarily because my body is resistant to it though.

No matter what medication it is, the effectiveness all depends on the individual and the dosage. Some medications have more evidence to work better but nothing is 100% proven to work for everyone.

I’m on my 5th week of Prozac. It has definitely helped my physical symptoms of anxiety but my intrusive thoughts are still running around like crazy. I’m giving it a few more weeks to see if it helps anymore. I would say give it a shot and try to stick it out for at least a month on it.

I’ve been taking Prozac since March and it’s had mixed affects. At the time I started taking them I had about a medium level of OCD and high level of depression. The Prozac helped with my depression 100%, and I think since I felt so happy the ocd decreased. I felt pretty happy for a few months. I still had ocd but it reduced a lot. I increased from 10 to 20 but over the summer my anxiety got bad. I wasn’t depressed but my ocd became very very bad especially in contamination. I have no idea if the medication caused it or just my life events. I don’t have depression but my ocd is still really bad, I’ve increased to 30 mg and I’m really hoping it helps. The only side effects I’ve felt is tiredness and dizziness but it only lasts the first few days/weeks of taking them with a new dosage. If you have depression I really think it could help that. It is proven to help with ocd so don’t take my experience as proof. My physiatrist said that you need to take 60 to 80 mg for it to effectively make a difference in ocd, but I’m making my way up there. It should still help though, everyone is different

Emmannn I don’t have depression but suffer from realllyyy bad contamination ocd. I know I need to suck it up and just let it give a chance to help me but I’m so afraid that it ruins the moments I don’t suffer from ocd

Here’s my issue I was given Prozac too and even my ocd is giving me doubts. I’m scared that the side effects will take over the parts of my life that are fine right now. For example school and work. If I get nauseated, I will do poorly. If I get sleepy, same thing. I know that it may or may not happen but I can’t seem to take the risk. Also, in the few hours where I don’t suffer from ocd I’m worried that the meds will just make those miserable too with sleepiness or nausea so I will have time with compulsions and on top of that nausea, sleepiness etc.
