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.

prozac stories
can anyone give me some insight on this? i was given 20 mg of prozac by my doctor to help me calm down while i wait for a psychiatrist appointment for ocd (i went in for an ekg because i was worried. nothing was wrong) yesterday was the 2nd dose, should i expect anything? i almost feel like it keeps me up at night since i take it around 7 pm, and i already have been sleeping poorly for a week or so.

New diagnosis
I just got diagnosed with ocd and she suggested I think about taking lexapro for it. Has anybody tried that and does it help at all?

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?
