Medication/Dosage for OCD

Scott Blair-West, MD, discusses that SSRIs are the most effective medications for OCD. They work for about two-thirds of people. Dosages can vary between very small dosages and large dosages.

I have OCD and I’ve been on medication for just two days and I’ve noticed a huge difference.

I’m on Luvox and it’s helped with the OCD but it’s made my anxiety much worse. I have GAD too. I’m moodier, and quick to anger I’ve noticed. It’s working for one thing but making other things worse. It’s truly exhausting trying to find the right medication

I’ve exhausted all SSRI/SNRI, tried gabapentin and risperidone but I’ve been sensitive and had side effects. I’m only using benzos now as and when. Currently waiting for therapy ☹️

i knew a few people who took psych meds for ocd it helped none of them

[leiurus.]

I tried all ssri's and anti psychotics and mood stabilizers gabapentin they were all really traumatic and make everything worse they make you feel dead inside like you forget how to feel happy its horrible gabapentin put me in a tremendous anxiety state of mind I would be having racing thoughts and extreme amounts of energy made impossible to fall asleep without feeling fear

I always hear bad things about these drugs from people, seems like they don't actually work and or cause side effects that are awful.
