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.

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 :)

Antidepressants
I have tried a few different kinds of antidepressants over the years, but it's always been hard to find one that works well for OCD and doesn't have horrible side effects. Does anybody have any recommendations of one that worked really well for depression and OCD??

Those will adhd/ med advice
I got diagnosed with adhd about 2 months ago, I started vyvanse and it was amazing at first. So much motivation, ocd intrusive thoughts were easier to let go and would not consume me nearly as much. But then about a few weeks ago I started noticing I was getting super irritable, anxious, intrusive thoughts taking over again. I had already gone up and down to try and tweak the right dose for me so I know it wasn’t the dose. So I stopped a few days ago, and all of that instantly subsided. I feel like I’m back to square one:( I do take Prozac, only 20mg becuase I have to slowly increase to reduce side effects but it does help me a lot. I still want to take adhd meds though because I’m back to feeling unmotivated. Has this happened to anyone else on stimulants? What did you end up having to try instead?
