Medication Updates

My prozac dose has been increased to 100mg for OCD, by my Psychiatrist.

The reason Prozac has been increased is because it was not showing any improvement with OCD.

I was having over sleeping issue, due to Prozac interacting with Trazodone.

Trazodone helps you sleep better.

Now I have to taper Trazodone off, so I take less dosage.

I am treatment resistant.

I just wanted to share my medication updates, since it could help other people learn about medicine interactions.

Hello , have you tried not taking any pills for a period of time?

I remember you said to me that you have tried CBT but it did not work for you . I suggest you try another psychiatrist , it might work .

I have tried to not take pills for a period of time, and my condition became very worst.

I am treatment resistant.

I am trying some techniques of how to deal with the obsessions.

I hope you are feeling better.

I am free from OCD for about two months .

Now , I am doing ComB treatment for skin picking .

Skin picking seems too easy to overcome in comparison with OCD .

I am so happy that I did not listen to the first psychiatrist and I did not take pills for OCD.

CBT was the best solution , at least for me .

Now , OCD seems like a small problem of the past , I know that there will be lapses in the future but I am sure that I will cope with them successfully.

I hope you find your way out of OCD .

Thank you so much for all the support that you gave me during my treatment.

I just started the less dosage of Trazodone.

It will take time for it to show any difference in the sleep.

Best of luck with these changes. I tapered down Trazodone recently. I did it very, very slowly. I hope the increased prozac is helpful.
