... about a month ago I felt my OCD flaring up again. I also had quite stressful events in life, gallbladder surgery + moving to another country in 2 months.
We decided to up my dose to 150mg. I took 125mg for 10 days and felt good. Then took 150mg and immediately felt anxiety and jitters.
Now my 12th day on 150mg and I am anxious, panicky, depressed and OCD is looming. This has been going on all 12 days I've been on 150mg.
Are my meds working, what should I do?

I am going through the same bee on 100mg for many years had a health scare which brought my anxiety and panic attacks on my dr upped me to 125mg which I didn't feel good on the after 2 wee,s upped again to 150mg I have been dreadful I have tried to persevere so hard thinking it will get better so now dropping back to 125mg and hope this helps
mees98 my experience has been fairly different. The dr prescribed 100mg once a day for OCD. It was just after my father died and I found some old symptoms creeping in from a bad experience I had n my 20s. Just recently I’ve tried to cut them down by cutting the tablet in half and it’s been no problem except I wake up early and can’t get back to sleep. It sounds to me that you need to reduce your dose again I would have thought after 12 days your anxiety should have died down. Discuss it with your doctor. Hope it gets sorted for best wishes to you.
