Has anyone taken Prozac and if so has it helped their intrusive thoughts? I just started Prozac I’m a week into it so far.

Yes helped me a lot. Completely took the thoughts away

i’m about to start on zoloft. did u ever take that?

That’s great. I’ve always struggled with the idea of taking an SSRI. Any side effects?

@Brian I had no side effects with Prozac

@bricady Yes I’m on Zoloft now, it’s helping but just started about 2 months ago and am also 9 months pregnant

@Maybe,MaybeNot why did u switch from prozac to zoloft?

@Maybe,MaybeNot also congrats! on the baby

@bricady I came off my Prozac, because I was in recovery for a full year and got pregnant and thought I’d be fine without it. My OCD came back during my pregnancy and I tried Prozac again and it didn’t work the second time, maybe because of the pregnancy, and it wasn’t safe to increase to a higher dose with the baby, so they switched me to Zoloft

@Maybe,MaybeNot oh. true. i understand thar

How long did it take for you? I’m one week in on 10mg but Monday I start taking 20mg

SSRIs can take 4-6 weeks to start working.
