Hi all. I have had ocd since 2007 and was on citalopram until July, when I suddenly started getting anxious for no reason. It was unbearable and I had a panic attack. Was pacing and just could not relax. I was taken off citalopram and put on sertraline. Started on 50mg for one week, then 100mg for 4 weeks then I'm now on 150mg for 2 weeks. I'm still not right though. I still get a bit anxious and depressed and have ocd thoughts. Last week I was due on my period and went though a week of hell. All my symptoms returned. I had bad anxiety, severe depression and ocd thoughts. Real dark ones. I'm just starting to get back to how I felt before last week and that was just bearable. Like there's still something now quite right. My ocd is based around fear these tablets aren't working for me or won't work for me. I also get intrusive thoughts about loved ones or about me ending it all. Which I will never in a million years do by the way. It's just tormenting thoughts. Anyway, what I'm saying is that now I'm 6 and a half weeks in, is it wise to stay on these or should I think about trying something else? Also I am scared of my next period because I don't want to be ill again. I hate it so much. Being on 150mg for 2 weeks is probably not long enough for that dose to work is it? Just want to be my old self again. Hope someone can give me advice
