Yes. Like wesselina said, no quick (couple hours-few days) fix, it usually takes a couple of weeks for the medicine to take effect. So far being a month in on zoloft, ive noticed the changes. Nothing major (like i was expecting, which would make me nervous) but like slowly improving. It can get frustrating, but i would say the sooner the better, because if u wait until u have a mental breakdown (god forbid) it will only be that much harder. Hope this helped?

I wish my parents took me to a therapist 44 years ago. The earlier the disorder is diagnosed treatment can start and you don't need to suffer trying to cope . When you have diabetes there is medication insulin available to control sugar levels. The same to serotinin imbalance in your brain that can be treated with medication. The brain is a functional organ just like the liver, heart, eyes etc

I feel like you just had a really bad therapist. A good therapist wouldn’t have kicked you out because of being goofy ya know? They would’ve helped you no matter what. That doesn’t make sense to me that they’d do that. Zoloft has helped me A LOT. It really just depends on what helps you, a lot of people like therapy more than medication but I don’t like therapy. It doesn’t work for me. You just have to find a healthy way to cope and what works for you! OCD and anxiety books help me too and doing a lot of research! The more I learn about OCD the more I realize these thoughts can’t hurt me because my mind is just overactive.

I've been doing better but...
Today I had my follow up appointment with my psychologist, I left feeling worse, I loved the psychologist I spoke to last time he was very informed and understanding, this time I got an appointment with someone who he supervises and I feel like she didn't allow me to speak, she didn't allow me to explain my thoughts or feelings, she told me I have to take my medication or she won't be able to continue helping me, which I understand but im terrified of medication I can't get over it, she said if i start the prozac and it doesn't work then I'll have to get on antipsychotics which seems a bit extreme to me considering i have no psychotic symptoms matter of fact she didn't even allow me to explain my symptoms and i feel like there's so many other antidepressants that could work before getting on antipsychotics🙁 this didn't help me at all considering the episode of ocd i just got through was about me becoming psychotic, I just feel let down and misunderstood, I almost felt as if she was mad at me for the buspar not working she said "you didn't really try it you just took it for a week so if you stopped it it's like you gave up on yourself" but it kept me up 2 nights in a row and i couldnt function from the anxiety 😞

Medication
At this point I feel like I need to get on something ASAP. I know that therapy is a long road and hard work and I am totally down to do it but in the short term (I just started this journey) I think I need pharmaceutical help. Some of the people closest to me agree. I have never been on meds before and it's scary AF but the road I am going down is scarier. Advice?

Medication or treatment?
I understand that everyone is different but lately I have been debating on medication just because of past experiences but does anyone have any good experiences with medication that has helped them with their OCD as well as therapy or treatment? As of now I’m dealing with it by myself but it feels like it may be getting worse
