And dosage
I was on the second dosage from the lowest. It didn’t seem to help me much so I stopped taking it and started lowest doses of venlaflaxine. I may be switching soon, I don’t like the side effects. It makes me sick all the time but it helps.
But Fluvoxamine did help too.
Zoloft made me kind of spacey, tired and forgetful.
Zoloft has helped me a ton. I’m currently on 100mg. I went up gradually starting at 25mg. While it doesn’t take the thoughts away, it’s the anxiety to help you cope. I do feel apathetic towards some things but I think it’s worth it because I can actually leave the house without a panic attack. Everyone is different though. And you doctor will know the right medicine for you and will know how to slowly taper you on. Every time I up my dose I have bad side effects but once I’m on it for 2-3 weeks it levels out.
They put me on 25mg. I couldn’t handle the initial side effects so I stopped after a few days. However, according to my psychiatrist most people don’t react that negatively to it, so it probably just wasn’t compatible with me
I’m on 150 mg and it’s helped me a lot! I’ve tried different ssri’s and snri’s but this worked best for me! Obviously worked up slow to this dosage. People who take it for anxiety and depression tend to have dosages between 25-75 and ocd 100-200. My cousin started it for depression but it made her foggy. It is a journey to find a right one that works for you! Keep at it and communicate with both a therapist and psychiatrist!!
Does anyone have any good experiences with SSRIs for OCD?
Anyone have experience taking Luvox (Fluvoxamine) for their OCD?
I was diagnosed with Pure OCD in 2020 and have been able to conquer most of my fears since. However, I recently started Zoloft and it had caused me to not be able to eat as much, sleep, focus or do much of anything. I began to have intrusive thoughts as I do but this time I assigned a "scary" voice to the thought after reading about Schizophrenia. I only hear the "voice" when I'm actively thinking about it but my fear is that it will evolve into something out of my own control. I've been extremely anxious since starting Zoloft and I'm aware that it can heighten those senses of being aware or "freaking ourselves out" but I can't stop googling if anyone else has created this monolog or given it a voice after the concern of Schizophrenia.
