What do u take? How do u like it? Do u get side effects? I have an appointment soon and am thinking about asking for something for my constant obsessive worries. Just want someminfo about whats out there and what theyre like.
I take Zoloft for depression/anxiety. I read that it can also be used to treat OCD. I’ve taken it for years and I like it okay. It seems to work on a subconscious level, in my case. So I don’t really feel much so no bad side effects. They always want me on AD and AP combo for the synergistic effect (serotonin and dopamine neurotransmitters).

I’m taking Sertraline (Zoloft) mainly for depression and OCD
I find it’s not doing much for OCD for me lately
Apparently it’s a good med for it, but it’s like its not doing much of anything for my OCD

I take 10mg Vortioxetine per day
Seems to work well
Pregabalin is still part of my diet, but that’s a hangover from what once worked but no longer does
My plan is just to be on this AD for anxiety and maybe increase it as the Pregabalin goes down

20mg ain’t a low dose I think. I just happen to tolerate a super high dose. Plenty of folk would get sidexeffexts off 20mg so please don’t feel like a wimp
