Has anyone taken 25mg Zoloft and noticed a big change in their OCD symptoms?

My doctor prescribed me Lexapro but in talking to other people with ocd, I've heard Zoloft is very helpful specifically in treating the OCD. So I asked my doctor if I could try Zoloft instead and she switched the prescription. I haven't taken either yet. Just had my appointment but I'm hoping I made the right decision in asking her if she could switch it. I suppose I could always try another if Zoloft doesn't work. I just need relief so badly.

Hello! I was on Zoloft for years. I am off of it now. When I was on Zoloft, my OCD symptoms went away a lot but not completely. I went off of Zoloft because I had other side effects. Now that I am off of Zoloft, my OCD is much worse. But I am doing Therapy and learning ERP so I am hopeful I will start feeling better. A reminder that all medication affects each person differently, and everyone will have a different experience on it. ❤️

Hi! Im on 25mg of Lexapro and my intrusive thoughts and rituals are almost non existent now (ive been on it for 1 year and also see a therapist bi weekly & have an OCD workbook) I would definitely recommend trying medication! I was nervous at first but I couldn’t imagine not being on it now.
