Medication?

I’m on a mixture of Fluoxetine (40mg) in AM, 2 Gabapentin (100mg) in AM and PM, and Bupropion XL (150mg) in the AM It works decently well for me. Kind of gives a high/loopy feeling, kind of as if you’re on laughing gas. It also makes me super mellow and in what I have dubbed “live, laugh, love” mood.

Medication is so incredibly person specific it’s impossible to know what would work. If you’ve already failed some meds it might be worth doing the genetic test. For reference my comt gene is met/met so I have a harder time metabolizing dopamine and norepinephrine giving me higher baselines of both I’ve tried loads of meds, side effects are why I stopped most of them. I was on Prozac for a while. It did help but caused sexual dysfunction, same with lexapro and Zoloft. Effexor was okay but it being such a short half life really sucks if you’re someone who might miss a dose. I really liked Viibryd. But it caused crazy appetite issues, like I was always hungry, they also have a max dose of 40mg which felt too low. Tried Wellbutrin, definitely avoid it if you have OCD. Abilify was okay but didn’t really help with OCD. Seroquel was okay but all the atypical antipsychotics cause so much drowsiness I really wanted Buspar to work but it gave me insane dizziness so I had to stop. Just started Trintellix a week ago for the second time so we will see how it goes. Outside of meds, NAC as an over the counter supplement has helped a lot with OCD. I did TMS but it didn’t last very long. Neurofeedback is great but it’s expensive and a very long process

Anafranil had helped me but it’s so personal I don’t think it’s useful to hear recommendations

I am on 200mg of Sertraline daily (generic Zoloft), it’s helped me out quite a bit minimal to no side effects. Been on it now for years. I hope you find something that works for you personally.
