Yes, prozac and it makes a huge difference in my ability to handle my anxiety and work towards getting better
I take Paxil and honestly it’s definitely made it possible for me to live life and not hate every waking second of it. I can eat and sleep again
i’m on zoloft end it’s GREAT! so grateful to have found a good medication that works well for me ☺️
I take alprazolam (Xanax) as needed for panic attacks and it does help a lot for me, although it can be addictive if not used carefully. I just started taking Fluoxetine (Prozac) for my OCD 2 days ago and while it’s still too soon to see the effects, I have noticed my intrusive thoughts have already calmed down just a tiny bit (less frequent.) However, it’s also too soon for me to comment on the negative side effects of Prozac. Good luck!
I take Zoloft for a number of different diagnoses as one of my other medications causes my anxiety to shoot through the roof, more than it already does. For me, Zoloft helps take the edge off my anxiety so I’m still able to worry about things that deserve it for ex. Homework, getting tasks done, cleaning, etc. But helps me not have “unnecessary” anxiety where I constantly have obsessive or perfectionist behaviors for things that don’t need to be obsessed over.
I am on day two of Zoloft 50mg. It's too soon to say, but I'm optimistic, because I need to have hope things will get better.
I take Prozac and it helps a lot. I don’t take a high dose so I do still have some anxiety, but nothing compared to before and I don’t have panic like it used to. I was scared to start it but the minor side effects I have are still way better than high levels of anxiety.
Lamotrigine- but I have bipolar and that’s a different haha. I’ve been taking it for a couple of days and my anxiety has decreased. The thoughts are still there but less. You have to start low and work your way up with Lamotrigine… so I’m hoping it helps! If you have treatment resistant depression etc you can ask for this ☺️
Has medication helped anyone with severe intrusive thoughts. I am considering starting and wanted to know what worked best for people.
Hi I have tired erp therapy not for long enough tho helped to a certain extent but has anyone tried any medications that actually work ? I have never tried any and just want to see if anyone’s notice good amount of difference with their ocd /rocd once taking medication ?
Debating on seeing a psychiatrist for medication. Does medication help you guys for OCD? Or at least help the depression and anxiety that comes with OCD? Thanks! 🫶🏼
