			<description><![CDATA[
My primary care doctor just prescribed escitalopram. I have not yet been to a psychiatrist. My medical insurance will not cover that, but I will have to pay out of pocket. I tried a therapist once a week, but it was not of any help with my panic attacks. Is this something I would see a psychiatrist about? In self diagnosing, I believe I do have a subtle but significant issue with OCD.
I had my first &#34;panic attack&#34; about 20 years ago, hellish paranoia in the middle of the night that...

I&#039;m terrified, honestly. I&#039;m convinced it&#039;s going to have some profoundly negative impact on me. I can&#039;t get over the idea it&#039;ll make me worse or cause hallucinations or psychosis. I desperately want to try it, but I can&#039;t bring myself to get over this fear.

			<description><![CDATA[
I take Prozac for OCD and depression but it seems to have lost its effectiveness. I tried switching to Lexapro but had a really bad experience and had to go back on Prozac. My doctor suggests Zoloft as an alternative, but after the experience with Lexapro I am very wary about making the switch. It would be good to hear from anyone who has experience of switching from Prozac to Zoloft. Thanks!

I was prescribed 50mg sertraline this morning by my doctor because I have extreme anxiety and mild depression. I took one after breakfast this morning and felt fine, but now a couple of hours later I feel a bit dizzy, very sleepy and a little sick - I really struggle with the dizziness and feeling sick (I hate it) and it panics me that I could feel even worse (ironic, I know). I don&#039;t know if I should power through or not. Also I&#039;m at more risk as I&#039;m 18. Thank you to anyone who...

			<title>Depakote - Sodium Valproate and Fluoxetine for Depression?</title>
			<description><![CDATA[
I&#039;ve taken many types of antidepressants over the past 17 years, but never made it out ofdepression for very long at a time. My new psychiatrist prescribed me Sodium Valproate (1000mg) about 8 days ago to take alongside the Fluoxetine (60mg) I&#039;ve been on for a while (it helps with my OCD symptoms). I&#039;m worried this will end up making me more depressed since it apparently works better for mania? Does anyone here take Sodium Valproate for depression/anxiety?

I have been on sertraline for 8 years at a dose of 100 mg for OCD &#38; depression/anxiety . I was absolutely great on it until I had a particularly stressful time at work and my doc upped my dose to 150 mg , took a long time to settle down with side effects but eventually did
Earlier this year I decided to try and reduce my med gradually as I felt very woozy especially on a morning .

Hi,

I&#039;m always tired, don&#039;t want to exercise, don&#039;t want to play sports with my children, etc. I read that chuck1957 is on Wellbutrin and venlafaxine. Can my doctor prescribe me Wellbutrin with Cymbalta? I took Wellbutrin XL 150 mg alone and had insomnia. I had to stop it altogether. I did notice more energy with Wellbutrin. I just want to be able to feel that I have energy to do the things I normally do along with getting enough...

			<title>Which medication is most helpful for OCD?</title>
			<description><![CDATA[
I have OCD and I was on 150 mg of Zoloft for about five years and it was very helpful. When I got pregnant and had my baby I got off the Zoloft. My baby is two now and I tried Zoloft again at the same dose and it wasn&#039;t helpful at all. I also tried Lexapro and Celexa at 20 mg but neither helped. I was on every medication for at least 12 weeks. Is there another medication that could help my debilitating OCD ?

Thank you
