Any experiences with Lexapro (escitalopram) medication and OCD. Just started it and I’m curious as to if it’ll really help me. I surely pray it does. Lord knows I need relief. What are/were your experiences on it. Thanks!
I was on lexapro while pregnant. Remember it takes awhile for medicine to work. Clomipramine is the medicine I was on for 8+ years and am on again. It helps me get out of rumination traps much easier and makes me less obsessed with answering questions
I started at 10mg, went to 15, and am now at 20. I do find it’s helping more at this dosage.
I’m on 20mg. It takes a while but it’s helped a lot.
Anyone on Prozac for ocd and does it help? Or anyone on Lexapro and it helps?
Has anyone seen an improvement with their OCD with meds? I am about to start lexapro and I’m nervous!
Dr has prescribed me Lexapro for ocd until I can get in to see a psych eventually, I’m about to start therapy in January aswell…. Was just wondering if anyone has had positive experiences with Lexapro? I know everyone is different, so maybe I could just ask for anyone who has found a medication that works for them, I just wanted to know a thorough explanation of how it makes you feel & how it has helped with your intrusions/ocd… I am quite nervous to try it because of side affects and fear it’s just another trial error phase…. I have quit smoking pot and going to stick with taking it same time every day where as in the past with 2 previous meds I was still smoking and not having a routine with when I took the meds. So obviously it didn’t work properly… can someone just give me a bit of hope, please?
