I promise..I was like you...until I started practicing mindfulness and meditation now I don’t take any meds...the thoughts are all still there but as time goes by I’m getting stronger and relating to the thoughts differently...meditation is better than any wonder drug...

Not all meds work the same, maybe you need to try out a new one. I hope it all works for you!

I have been on 37.5 for 13 years. I had a rough 2016. Too much things happened to fast and I started having sizures due to stress, so in 2017 is when the increase started and I just feel to tired putting my mind though anymore. So I now have to work on letting this dose adjust. And in the future I will slowly get off effexor and try something different .My mind is at constant worry and overthinking.Nerves in my head twitch, brain shivers , neck vibrates body sensations. The effexor probably helps a bit, but the side effects were scary and to great to deal with.The doctor said it was making me more manic. :(

Sometimes less is more as I can see and feel that and a lot of time to heal. Medications are a huge things to get used to, it’s all about trial and error.The mind is a complicated thing. So is OCD. I will be switching in the future but I just dropped to 75mg 10 days ago.Playing around with medications so quick isn’t always the best answer (for me).Letting things settle for a couple of months and then deciding from there. Thank you for all the replies:)

Medication Questions
Hi all! I am on Zoloft 100mg and I was hoping to get some feedback! My biggest fear is being suicidal and sometimes I’m like checking to see if I am suicidal on the medication but then I think maybe it’s my ocd. My doctor wants to go higher but I’m wondering if this is a good idea based on my thoughts. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

To stay on meds or not
Prior to starting meds I had intrusive thoughts but not to this degreee! I’ve also just started my period? My doctor basically said to suck it up or up the dose which I’m not overly keen on! Of course my over thinking brain keeps saying but if you come off what if they get worse again?

Starting new anxiety meds
Hi everyone, I’m 23 and have been on Zoloft since I was 16. For the past couple months I’ve been having panic attacks more and I’m sick of feeling like a zombie everyday. My boyfriend said I’m very sad and unhappy then when I first met him 2 years ago…. He thinks it’s the medicine. Throughout the years I have upped and lowered my medication, but now, I feel as though it’s not helping. Either it was too much where I didn’t feel emotions at all like very scary stuff or it wasn’t enough to help me. I was given 5mg of Lexapro to try…. I’m scared to take it. All I know is how Zoloft is. I don’t want to go crazy on it, be allergic to it, etc. I feel like I’m going to trip myself out when I take it and not actually feel the difference. I could really use some positive feedback I really just want to be a normal human😭
