Ocd Medication Success?
What has worked for you guys?
What has worked for you guys?
Sertraline helped me a lot but unfortunately I’m prone to medication allergies so I had to switch medications. I am currently on Clomipramine and it helps me a lot with managing flare-ups. I personally still have to put in a lot of work but it helps me to see things differently and work through ERP more effectively. I also have less severe flare-ups comparatively when I’m on Clomipramine. I hope that you find meds that work for you! There’s lots out there. 🫶
@JesusSaves424 And, to add, when I start having panic attacks (likely from OCD combined with my other mental health conditions), Hydroxyzine as-needed helps me so much. Helps me to calm down and rest.
I am on 75mg sertraline (or 100? I don’t remember) and I forget the dosage but vivance. The two work together well and my daily rumination ceases to exist most days now.. nights are a struggle without the vivance but hey.. I am working to conquer it. These work.
it’s not not medication but it does help in producing more serotonin. it’s an amid acid called L-tryptophan.
Magnesium and Sam-E
I’m on 100mg Zoloft. So far so good!
People who went from a really bad time with OCD to a better time now. Is it really possible? What was your theme? Did you take medication?
Hey friends, I hope you all are well. I just wanted to check in and ask people's experiences about being on medication. I have had OCD pretty much my whole life, just got recently diagnosed 4 months ago and my therapist recommended that I get on meds for it so I have a psychiatrist appointment set up. I'm a little apprehensive about getting on them, but I've realized that I do have some sort of chemical imbalance in my brain that plays a part in my OCD and anxiety. I would love to hear anyones experiences or words of encouragement. Thank you, I hope you all are well.
Medication for OCD? Hello all, 19 male here, this seems like a cool community that isn’t nearly as triggering as reddit. I have pretty severe bouts of existential thinking or fear of going crazy ( psychosis ) after some pretty heavy mushroom trips a few years ago, I know logically I should be fine but I do know what it’s like to lose it and it’s scary. Currently I deal with relationship focused OCD, it’s all day from before I even open my eyes. I want things to work out with my girlfriend badly. Also I can come close to a panic attack sometimes which perpetuates everything. Anyway, I mention the fear of going crazy because the way my anxiety/derealization makes me feel is that I’m not mentally stable cause I feel out of it or unreal. I saw that a lot of anxiety and depression medication can cause psychosis and I feel like I could use some help in getting ahead of my OCD because the compulsions are had not to give into when I’m in such distress/not knowing. Plus overall I just feel like I have no idea how I feel about close to anything. Anyone relate about that ?
