Anybody ever take Wellbutrin? I started lexapro a month ago and the side effects were terrible. My doctor put me in Wellbutrin. I’ve been on 150mg for 4 days now... yesterday all day it felt like it was maybe working. Or maybe it was just a good day. I’m not sure. But anyways, last night I had a full anxiety attack. And I spiraled so so so so hard. Maybe I’ve been bottling it up and it just all came out? Or could it be a sign that the new meds and making me manic or not working right?

I take Wellbutrin for depression. It helps a lot. But it’s a stimulant, so when I first started using it, my hair pulling became so bad I ripped out both of my eyebrows—usually I just tug/break the hairs. However, N-acetyl l-cystine has helped greatly with that. Thanks to Wellbutrin I quit smoking immediately and entirely—once I took my first pill I didn’t even think about cigs for a full week. I don’t crave them and they don’t satisfy me. I hope this was helpful and not too tangential

It’s all about finding the balance between medications that work for you and together. Not to mention what works best with your genetic predispositions. I’m on a mix of focalin for adhd, Zoloft for OCD and anxiety and Wellbutrin which was like a final puzzle piece for me. Honestly it takes time and it’s strenuous but so worth it!!! Try to ask your psychiatrist what might work with each other well!

They recommend me medication for my severe OCD

Hi. I’m writing this post because I don’t know if I should be medicated again. Lexapro worked well for me, but I gained like 30 pounds. I quit because of that and honestly I thought I was able to manage my OCD well better. I was wrong, it got worse again. I wish I can do this without medication…that’s why I expose myself everyday, doesn’t matter how drained and exhausted I get. Are you guys medicated or trying to go without medicine. How is it going for you guys? Many hugs for all of you. We got this.

Escitalopram experiences for OCD

Has anyone been prescribed Escitalopram for their OCD? And if so what was your experience like. I just got into my 2nd week of it and got bumped up to 20mg. Today has been weird because my anxiety is gone which has been for a bit but the thoughts seem stronger today especially the Harm related ones. Almost like commands now. Can anyone relate?

Prozac update

I used to get very irritable and have severe ocd, while I have only been on Prozac 3 weeks at only 10mg then recently 20mg. I have noticed that although my intrusive thoughts are still there, it’s more manageable like 30% more manageable and I’m hoping with time and if needed an increase of my dosage it could go to 50-90% more manageable. Anyone experience with ssri please share your experience dosage, name, how long it ok to kick in and how is your ocd now on the meds? Thank you
