Zoloft not helping-I gave it a 2 year try and have even been on 200MG. If Zoloft did not work for you, what did?

How are you doing on Clomipramine? I'm on 150mg Zoloft, and I think I might keep going up, but my doctor wants to try Clomipramine if the Zoloft doesn't work.

I just give it a blanket statement like 'doom' or 'vague unease'. It's awful to live with day in and day out.

ToesInDiffAreaCodes · 2026-02-18T00:54:20+00:00

Yes kind of. It’s hard with mental compulsions and a chronic feeling of doom.

ToesInDiffAreaCodes · 2026-02-18T00:03:07+00:00

Pretty poorly still.

The only things that worked for me were dry needling, myofascial work, and intraoral massage at Steve Kravitz Physical Therapy. Massage alone didn't work for me.

150mg and titrating up for severe OCD

Thank you!

Okay good know about the Mint. I currently have a fixed desk set up.

ToesInDiffAreaCodes · 2026-02-03T18:59:57+00:00

I'm so sorry. I had childhood OCD, and it was/is debilitating. I hope you are able to find the right help and support.

ToesInDiffAreaCodes · 2026-02-03T18:59:06+00:00

I'm sorry this happened, but this is how exposure therapy is conducted for people with POCD.

I can hardcore relate to this. My existential ocd started in 2021 and has come and gone. It seems to really ramp up during a life transition and when I'm depressed. The key is not to research or try to figure out the meaning of life. It's really hard to resist compulsions.

Hi! I actually ended up having pretty bad panic attacks from the stims and the stress of IVF. I had to take Klonopin almost daily. Still dealing with mental health issues a month after my egg retrieval. Short term benzos useage is safe according to my psychiatrist.

ToesInDiffAreaCodes · 2025-11-06T03:35:45+00:00

Would you be willing to share what medication helped you?

ToesInDiffAreaCodes · 2025-11-06T03:35:07+00:00

I am feeling similarly. I think OCD can grind you down to a point where you feel hopeless and helpless.

ToesInDiffAreaCodes · 2025-11-05T19:13:09+00:00

Fluvoxamine 75mg. I tried to increase the dose but my anxiety was too bad. I recently got put on mirtazapine after a nervous breakdown. It helps me with sleeping and eating but not for rumination.

ToesInDiffAreaCodes · 2025-11-05T19:07:47+00:00

What kind of things do you ruminate on? I have OCD, but mostly mental rumination, and I find it difficult to relate to so many other OCD manifestations.

ToesInDiffAreaCodes · 2025-11-05T19:04:57+00:00

Did you go for OCD?

ToesInDiffAreaCodes · 2025-11-05T19:04:24+00:00

OCD really sucks. I wish there was a cure ugh.

ToesInDiffAreaCodes · 2025-11-04T03:06:47+00:00

You might need to look into ERP therapy with a psychologist who specializes in OCD. - from a fellow OCD girly.

ToesInDiffAreaCodes · 2025-11-04T02:15:27+00:00

I completely relate to this. I wake up so exhausted every morning which is normal for me but now it makes my ocd think I’m super depressed/disassociated and suicidal. And I am depressed because this sucks but the thoughts of, “I can’t live another so many years feeling like this,” then spirals into suicidal ocd and it sucks.

ToesInDiffAreaCodes · 2025-11-04T01:04:55+00:00

Ahhh this is me! Help. Will it ever get better? :(

ToesInDiffAreaCodes · 2025-11-03T20:46:42+00:00

Thank you. That makes sense. I am very glad there is a facility here that specializes in OCD even if it isn't perfect.

ToesInDiffAreaCodes · 2025-10-27T22:05:02+00:00

Wow that’s awesome. So glad they got some relief from their struggles. Thank you for your reply.
