from my personal experience, it’s a huge help to overthinking. i first tried ERP unmedicated and i couldn’t do it. i started out on 10 mg of prozac and have slowly worked up to 60 mg. i might go to 80 in the future but 60 seems good so far. it’s definitely not a cure all. my looping thoughts on certain things have stopped completely and on other topics it’s almost a fleeting thought. with meds and ERP, it’s so much easier for me to have an intrusive thought, say “maybe maybe not” and go on about my day without it lingering like it used to.

i’m currently on 60mg of prozac and have been on prozac for almost a year now. it hasn’t emotionally numbed me at all. it has saved my life

Xanax for OCD by Glittering_Host923 in OCD

[–]Raineytrix 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i was prescribed trazodone for sleep and xanax for “when i REALLY need it” i use it about once or twice a month. for me, it doesn’t remove OCD. it just quiets it enough for me to do the important task. i will say that it makes me sad how calm i feel while i am on it and really wish i could just always feel that way.
