Luvox CR for OCD

Hi ALL,

I have been recently diagnosed with OCD although I have known I have had it for years. My OCD has changed shapes and forms over the years and my most recent bout is what brought me to a psychologist. Mostly I have suffering from intense mental ruminations/compulsions and thoughts. I do have physical compulsions too, but they aren't nearly as debilitating. My psychiatrist gave me a prescription for Luvox CR, but I am still on the fence about whether or not I want to take it. At times, I feel like I have multiple brains and I think medication may help me, but at the same time I think just the therapy will be enough. Any thoughts or experiences? Have antidepressants helped significantly with regard to mental ruminations?

Hmm. No responses here either. Well, I say, go for it. Give the Luvox a try and you can still go to therapy, too, if you'd like. I know I take meds and also go to therapy for my Bipolar II.

Hope you'll be getting better soon......
