It didn't work well for me at all. 6 weeks in got me suicidal and extremely depressed. But it usually works for most people so I hope it works for you.

Yes. It has been the best option for me of all the different options of meds I’ve tried.

I’m on 40 mg Prozac right now and it has helped a lot. Hasn’t cured me, obviously, but it makes therapy a lot easier to tolerate and my triggers don’t make me run away crying anymore lmao. Still have intrusive thoughts but it’s so much easier to push them away and not react to them. Still having compulsions but not near as bad as they were before. Also got rid of the depression I had been experiencing with my ocd. I haven’t felt this good in a very long time and can actually enjoy life now!

Prozac question
Hey! I just started Prozac and I’m on day 4 or 5 and I’m feeling super anxious and having mini panic attacks, is this normal? I know my psychiatrist said anxiety will raise for the first two weeks but I just wanna know if this happened to anyone else. I’m also super tired Thanks 😊

Experience with Prozac
I was diagnosed with OCD and I started Prozac 10 days ago. I have struggled with intrusive taboo sexual thoughts for 12+ years (I’m 24) but now I feel like it’s turning into feelings. I’ve never done anything to anyone or nor do I wish to ever. I am just scared of my own brain if this is something I actually want. My psychiatrist said I should feel better/start getting clarity after 2 weeks. But I keep feeling worse and worse. Anyone else has experience with Prozac and how it went for them?

Medication (Prozac)
I am having a really hard time with ocd and anxious thoughts and feeling extremely uneasy. I'm home alone today so it's really easy for me to get stuck in my thoughts. I'm on day 4 of prozac. I felt like yesterday I had a period of time of about 30 minutes where I felt really focused and like the anxiety lifted completely. But then an obsession started and it brought me right back down. Hopefully I feel relief again today. I'm going to go get some house work done to take my mind off of things. Does anyone have any first hand experiences with prozac? How long until you felt any relief? Any really bad side effects? Any unforseen pluses? Much appreciated.
