Which medicine would be best for my false memory ocd associated with harm? I’m on luvox right now but idk if I’m on the right one.

i am on 100 mg of Luvox and false memories and harm OCD are big triggers for me. for me, this medication is helping and i’ve noticed significant change in being anxious. i still have these thoughts because unfortunately medication isn’t going to stop us from thinking. medication takes a while to work in and for me, i really like this medication , but if you are having doubts, i encouraged you to talk to your doctor. best of luck!

you’re so sweet! i don’t have any social media but i will be here if you need someone 💕 i am not on anything else and it took me a month until i started to really notice. i started slowly and then built up to the highest dosage. it’s very important to keep taking it around the same time in the day and not skipping a day. everyone is different and has didn’t progress with medication. but i’ve been on two different types of medication and the Luvox is the only one where i can notice a change. but i also am in therapy too and medication and having a therapist is a great combo to fight this battle!

i increased every two weeks. you’re still on a fairly low dosage and they might have you increase if you’re not seeing results. unfortunately it’s trial and error with medication. i know in your original post you want something to work with your false memories and i wish there was a medication just for that to fix, but there isn’t. i highly encourage you to have tools, resources and great coping skills. false memories is a tricky one and sometimes it’s not medication that is gonna resolve it but having good coping skills. whenever you have a thought, say to yourself that it’s OCD and nothing more. one thing that helps me with false memories is identifying it as a thought and moving on to distract myself. but you’re in a great direction because you are on medication and medication will work! it takes time! are you seeing a therapist?

i know exactly how you feel love. my ocd triggers always range from one thing to the next. OCD has a pattern of doing that. you’ll exhaust one trigger and go to the next. i used to have the same thoughts of hurting someone. it came to the point of me sleeping in the closet because i was afraid i did stuff in my sleep and i would wake up the next day to try to find evidence. always know that you don’t deserve something that is thrown at you because of OCD. that’s the negativity speaking. i had a trigger last night that is still lingering in my head and i always go to having suicidal thoughts. that is not the way to go!!! it’s hard to get through the day, i know that feeling more than anything. we just have to take it one step at a time. you are here now so focus on the present. don’t try to solve the trigger from yesterday. it’s yesterday’s problem that shouldn’t effect today. i know it’s easier said then done, but you got this 🤍

i’ve been struggling with that too. i think to myself, “if i’m this anxious, then something just have happened” or i tell myself that “maybe this isn’t really OCD”. that’s just OCD being a jerk and trying to make you doubt so it can prey on you. it’s exactly OCD and that’s all that it is.
