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

@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

I was on Prozac for a while it helped but don’t expect results straight away it takes a few months and training the brain along with the Prozac, it’s just there to assist u and make it easier I found

SSRIs can take 4-6 weeks to start working.

Experience with Prozac
I was diagnosed with OCD and I started Prozac 10 days ago. I have struggled with intrusive taboo sexual thoughts for 12+ years (I’m 24) but now I feel like it’s turning into feelings. I’ve never done anything to anyone or nor do I wish to ever. I am just scared of my own brain if this is something I actually want. My psychiatrist said I should feel better/start getting clarity after 2 weeks. But I keep feeling worse and worse. Anyone else has experience with Prozac and how it went for them?

Medication (Prozac)
I am having a really hard time with ocd and anxious thoughts and feeling extremely uneasy. I'm home alone today so it's really easy for me to get stuck in my thoughts. I'm on day 4 of prozac. I felt like yesterday I had a period of time of about 30 minutes where I felt really focused and like the anxiety lifted completely. But then an obsession started and it brought me right back down. Hopefully I feel relief again today. I'm going to go get some house work done to take my mind off of things. Does anyone have any first hand experiences with prozac? How long until you felt any relief? Any really bad side effects? Any unforseen pluses? Much appreciated.
