Prozac

[hogananjiggs]

Havent been here in awhile..
So along with the ptsd they have concluded I also have moderate to severe OCD.
More with the intrusive thoughts and getting stuck. So to get it to be quiet I try super hard with mindfulness, breathing, and grounding.
Sometimes it works usually the only way is to get super mad then that causes all sorts of problems...

Anyway doc is suggesting prozac and something else but i forgot what it is.
Thing is when I was on effoxer it was BAD. Coming off was worse.
I'm concerned about taking anything.
I am in therepy also.

Help

I'm going to be tested soon since my therapist and med prescriber think I have OCD with my PTSD too. I had been on Prozac before, a few years ago. For me it likely helped with the OCD since the symptoms weren't apparent till recently. But I found it wasn't enough for the depression. Though this was before I began working on my PTSD. I wasn't a fan of effexor either. But personally I feel the Prozac is "less intense" side effect wise.

Good luck. I hope it helps you.
