For those who are on medication do you see a psychiatrist or did you get prescribed through a regular doctor? I’m trying to see which would be a better fit, I’m already in therapy so I’m worried that a psychiatrist will try to interrupt my treatment, but if I choose a regular doctor they might not be as knowledgeable on which ssri is good and the correct dosage to give.

I have an appt with a regular doctor this afternoon to see about medication! I’m not sure if this is the right way, but it was the easiest for me.

@ashleyc95 The appt with the doctor went well! She put me on 50 mg zoloft, so praying this helps! I could tell she wasn’t knowledgeable in the realm of OCD, but she listened and prescribed the medication. 🤍
