Has anyone ever gone on medication for OCD- pure o, I never do physical rituals just mental. I have really distressing intrusive thoughts that I mentally try and get rid of. Some days are so much worse than others . They feel so intense and hard to deal with. They go against everything I believe in. Has anyone tried medication to reduce the anxiety / bad feelings surrounding them?

I’m based in the UK

Yeppp. Your GP can recommend something for you. I’m taking medication currently, and I feel like its helping.

@Earlymockingjay I’m in the Uk too

@Earlymockingjay Which medication are you on? How long did it take to work? Thanks for replying! Good to see a fellow uk🤣

@hello123_ I just started on sertraline a few weeks ago. It definitely takes some time to start working. But I feel like I’ve noticed a positive change. I think you should definitely speak to your GP about your symptoms. Wishing you strength 💪🏽

@Earlymockingjay Definitely, thank you, you too!
