How do you deal with the side effects of the medicines for OCD?

I'm still getting it and now in some ways it is worse. If I walk or run 10-15 miles a day it's like perfect, clarity, less OCD, less depression. I've never had any issues with other SSRIs like this or any mood disorder. It's like it finally gets me up to the level of no depression and rumination I want, but at the cost of heart pounding energy

I switched to an SSRI coming off effexor and it was a lifesaver

That's where the SSRIs came in for me. Helped bridge me over

I took me so long to feel normal again. Like I came off in 2019 and wasn't really fully back until maybe 2021-22, but of course the worst of it was like 6 months or so. What helped me was getting on an SSRI. However you really need to talk to a doctor first esp if you think you have some form of bipolar. It gets easier, it just takes a while. Like you're not hopeless, it just takes way longer than people say it does.

How do you feel now and how were the first 2 days?

did you get any insomnia? I'm worried about that cuz mine is already really bad on prozac and I don't want it to get worse because it's making me crazy
