So miserable

[Leannek]

Well I'm now on day 15 prozac and I feel awful my ocd seems out of control and I feel so miserable . Don't know what to do weather to tell the docs that these are not helping or stick with it and hope for a miracle . I so badly want to feel better 😞 but I just have no control over my thoughts and feelings I feel like I'm losing the fight .

I’m not on Prozac so I don’t know how long it takes to begin to take effect, but I started Lexapro 15 days ago and haven’t noticed much improvement yet. I’ve been told it can take 4-6 weeks for it to have effects. Stick with it for a while and maybe it starts working.

Talk to your doctor and tell him/her how you feel. I don’t know about Prozac. So many people are preferring Zoloft. I feel for you my 19 year old son has ocd and it can be so horrible at times. Hang in there- all the best.

Hi Leannek, has it gotten worse? I heard you shouldn't use it if you have biopar, in case you are. I started feeling better after like 6 weeks because I started with 10 mg then went to 20 mg.

No better as yet .just hoping its gonna kick in soon i don't want to start a different med again and be back to square one .

[Worldlymama in reply to Leannek]

If this is any peace of mind I heard you won't start from square one if you make it through the first 2 weeks even if you switch to another drug of the same class. Good luck!!!

It took me about 6 weeks to adjust. I always felt better after I took a nap after I took it. I’m on 10mg and it’s helped my panic disorder and anxiety too. Hang in there! You’ll get through this!
