thank you for sharing your story. I have tried a few different medications, the one I feel helped most with OCD was Lexapro. I love Prozac but to me, it made me more hyper and compulsive. The Lexapro, for lack of better words, chills me out. Also, Lexapro has fewer side effects.

I was just prescribed low dose Prozac... for anxiety, depression and OCD. My Doc/shrink felt it would be better than Lex... with fewer side effects... but he is having me start very slow, 10mg 2-3X/week and increase as necessary...
Lex gave me and many others anxiety attacks... common and they probably go away... but some say they last for many months... jeeze!
