has anyone have any experience with any of the following drugs : plz comment :  fluoxetine (Prozac),  fluvoxamine (Luvox),  paroxetine (Paxil),  citalopram (Celexa),  escitalopram (Lexapro), sertraline (Zoloft). clomipramine

I’m on day 10 of Lexapro. The side effects weren’t ideal the first few days but feel pretty much normal now. I definitely have less anxiety already. The thoughts are there, I can just deal with them slightly better? Not sure yet, it hasn’t been in my system long enough to see a real effect.

I’ve been taking Lexapro on-and-off for two years now. At first I found it a bit hard to focus during lectures but after a while it really worked well for me in regards to my anxiety. I still have my obsessions and compulsions while on meds but my anxiety is either not there at all or just slightly present. I was off Lexapro for a bit but just recently started taking it again. As for the side effects I’m experiencing right now: I’m having trouble sleeping or either can’t get enough sleep (depends on the day - today I’m super tired). Other side effects I currently have is unusual sweating and a decrease in my sex drive. With that being said, medication side effects are different for everyone.

I started taking prozac at the end of last August. first couple weeks were hard but eventually my depression improved which is what was making therapy so hard for me for months. the obsessions are still difficult at times but I'm not immobilized by depression so I can work on ERP and CBT now more easily.

I was on lexapro for over 10yrs just came off and am now on prozac and mirtazipine my doctor wants me to start taking gabapentin as well

I have been taking fluoxetine for 3 months now. I was on 20 mg for 2 months and felt no different and now for the past month or so I've been taking 40 mg and feel so much better, my anxiety has lessened a lot

I'm taking 20mg of prozac and 30mg of remeron my dr. upped me to 30 of prozac but I had an extremely awful panic attack last night I thought I was going to need an ambulance. Today she dropped me back down to 20 of prozac and to take 22.5 of remeron and start gabapentin

@letsgo - thank u for sharing ur experience.

thank all for sharing ur experience.

@Christina7311 - how was ur experience on lexapro ?

At first I think I did well on it, but for me personally it had stopped working and I needed to change

I'm having a hard time finding the right medication/dosage currently

Lexapro but turns out I have bipolar. It therefore had the opposite of the intended effect. My sister had success on Paxil and she had OCD, too

My daughter was put on Zoloft mostly due to depression that stemmed from intrusive thoughts but no one seemed to call it OCD. She says the thoughts are still there but are "numbed" and she's not so affected by them.

I was on Lexapro for a year as a young teen and then switched to Prozac which I have been on for six years now. The Lex along with therapy helped lift me out of a deep suicidal depression in a matter of about three months. Then a year later it seemed to stop working for me so I was switched to Prozac. I have been doing well on Prozac for 6 years now. I am now on 80 mg which according to my doc is the highest possible dose for me. Recently added Wellbutrin in to help w depressive symptoms.
