[quote=Anonymous]Op, it’s all trial and error on the meds. If you have family members who have had success with an SSRI, that might be a good place to start. My DC on Lexapro because two family members take it successfully and it’s been very very helpful.

My DC’s OCD symptoms are similar - wonders all the time if they are a good person, if they did something by wrong, etc. - mostly all intrusive thoughts, although when they did the YBOCs, realized they are also counting things, and have other compulsions.

The meds help, although my DC has moments where the compulsions are still terrible. DC is still in therapy as it’s become clear that meds are just part of the solution.

To be honest, DC started on Lexapro, things got better but not great and psychiatrist decided to trial Prozac. DC did not operate that well - got very very hyper and impulsive, so trialed Zoloft, which also made them hyper and impulsive. I asked for DC to go back to Lexapro, which wasn’t as effective as I hopes but DC does not have any side effects that I know of and it does help.

Good luck on the medication, and it can be very helpful! [/quote]
