in what way?
I took lexapro which did nothing for me, then I took zoloft which made me wanna kill my self, cymbalta felt the same way. Started Prozac almost 3 weeks ago and it’s helping considerably. My OCD thoughts are still here but I’m much more relaxed and my mood has improved. And it’s still pretty early and at the smallest dose so it’s a good sign. Sadly it’s a lot of trial and error , I hope you find something the helps you soon. If you try Prozac and it doesn’t work don’t get discouraged, even meds in the same class won’t have the same effect on you.
Be careful with vyvanse.. it's pretty much meth
I’ve been on it since May of last year or so at 30 mg. I tried 50 and that caused pain, so just down to 30 and have been at that pretty much
That’s awesome that’s it’s working for you tho! Yeah I have a little list of different once’s and Prozac may be on it. I will have to start trying something new! The vyvanse works fairly well when it kicks in, but as soon as it’s like outta my system (which I can pretty much tell almost exactly when it is) a few hours later it’s just back to the normal ocd thoughts and stuff. So thank you again :)
No prob , remember to complement your meds with ERP therapy !
Hello, Everyone. I feel as though I’ve maxed my ability to control my OCD beyond the point I’ve reached and am now interested in trying some medications. Any recommendations? Thanks.
I’ve been on Paxil for a year never had anxiety or my one intrusive thought that made me so anxious and stuck , after seeing the Lindsey case I’ve been horrible my doctors upped my Paxil to 40mg still having my one intrusive thought stuck !! Anyone have any ocd medication that really helped them thinking of switching !
I have tried so so many medications (SSRI, etc.) for OCD treatment. The only one I have had success with is Lexapro, but it then caused a ton of side effects. I have tried Prozac, Zoloft, and now I am on Pristiq with not much success. Does anyone have a recommendation I could bring to my physician? They are also kind of at a loss with new medications for me to try.
