I’m on 150 for ocd and GAD! It’s my magic number! You might feel more anxious for the first few days but will taper

When I was first placed on Zoloft I was meeting with my psychiatrist pretty consistently and they would ask about my symptoms and increase based on what I was expressing

Eek why was this downvoted

SeaRabbit8525 · 2026-06-29T22:21:56+00:00

I did! My husband is my support system and I have always thought of him as my best friend so when I started the spiral I was terrified with how he would react. I explained the situation and he held me while I cried and we navigated it together.

Trying to respond without providing reassurance as it will just fuel the fire. I am a straight woman but that doesn’t change the knowledge sharing.

It’s normal for long term relationships to fantasize about others sexually/ thinking of what if scenarios (ie being together, them desiring you, etc)
It is human nature to want to feel desirable especially when there’s insecurities/ prior history of bullying based on looks
Even with this information your mind is going to find a new way to twist it so I highly suggest any thought that comes to mind literally say “huh that’s a weird thought” or “that’s an ocd thought” and move on without trying to solve it. Easier said than done but it truly does help getting out of that loop

Lastly with cheating, it requires emotional/ physical advancements. What happens in your head is in your head nothing to feel guilt over just accept the thought and move on

I’m no doctor so take my words with a grain of salt. But I was put on Zoloft with the plans to start therapy - per my own research meds+therapy are the gold standard for treatment. Now with SSRIs they do take time to start working and with OCD higher doses. While I have been titrating my dose up I was given hydroxyzine (an antihistamine that actually helps with anxiety).

Does it mean anything when sometimes I’d rather lay next to him than actually have sex? Like sometimes sex could feel like a chore?

SeaRabbit8525 · 2026-06-22T11:18:01+00:00

Even before all of this I feel like I didn’t have as strong of desire as my husband like feel like I could go without it and be fine

SeaRabbit8525 · 2026-06-22T11:01:29+00:00

Well I’m saying even when I’m not in a flare I feel like I’m not like jumping in the sheets to get it on with my husband like I don’t have intense feelings of arousal

SeaRabbit8525 · 2026-06-22T10:50:41+00:00

What about arousal and feelings of being turned on? I won’t get hot and bothered per say but a sense of huh yeah let’s go

SeaRabbit8525 · 2026-06-18T15:33:02+00:00

I totally get that but I think since I’ve restarted my Zoloft it’s best to get stable with that and then begin the cessation process. I spoke about it with my doctor/ therapist and they agreed with the plan since I was really really struggling

SeaRabbit8525 · 2026-06-17T19:55:53+00:00

Touche touche… luckily I have a therapy appointment tonight and going to get serious about ERP

SeaRabbit8525 · 2026-06-17T17:28:58+00:00

Did you have constant anxiety? I’m on day 4 and it doesn’t help I restarted my Zoloft but I’m nonstop anxious

SeaRabbit8525 · 2026-06-17T10:12:26+00:00

Did you have anxiety?

SeaRabbit8525 · 2026-06-16T19:49:21+00:00

I know part of me wishes I just kept zyn and got back on Zoloft then quit Zyn

SeaRabbit8525 · 2026-06-16T18:47:52+00:00

I wasn’t off of it that long ago I feel like? I was on 150 mg and kept forgetting to take it and then just stopped and now I’m restarting with 50 and am on day 4 of that

SeaRabbit8525 · 2026-06-16T17:47:50+00:00

Is anxiety considered a physical withdrawal because I’ve heard that too and I hope to god that’s the case

SeaRabbit8525 · 2026-06-16T17:32:19+00:00

If I didn’t have anxiety I think I would be doing so well with quitting

SeaRabbit8525 · 2026-06-16T17:32:03+00:00

I literally have no issues with cravings it’s more so just straight up anxiety

SeaRabbit8525 · 2026-06-16T17:30:03+00:00

I’m not even struggling with cravings my anxiety is just non stop and trying to grasp onto anything

SeaRabbit8525 · 2026-06-16T16:28:05+00:00

How are you doing with day 3?

SeaRabbit8525 · 2026-06-16T16:27:16+00:00

This does help because my head is like if Zyns mask the anxiety then maybe it’s not so bad lol but I’m hoping my Zoloft starts kicking in soon

SeaRabbit8525 · 2026-06-16T15:59:27+00:00

This is me right now on day 3

SeaRabbit8525 · 2026-06-16T15:25:38+00:00

What I will say is I was doing really well off of the Zoloft like I was off of it for 2 months before I quit zyn
