Dear lybrate-user,
for 5 long years, you have been living with ocd. If you can continue to live with it, worry about side effects of fluoxetine.

There are many medications that are used for ocd and prodep 20 is one of them. Doses need to be titrated and also there may arise a need to titrate the medications or augment the treatment with other medications depending on your response to treatment.

If formula 1, cars can't reach you to a place, can small cars do the same. You seem to be having resistant symptoms and very high potency drugs including clozapine have been given. 5htpn and l tyrosine are very very weak over the counter health supplements which are very expensive and lack much efficacy. Better come to terms with the illness and aim to select the medication group which gives best relief amongst the one which you have mentioned in consult with your psychiatrist. Good luck.

Hello, Thanks for the query.
The two molecules mentioned are for treating the psychiatric problem that is present. Those have been given as you must be needing the same. Since your TSH is 6.6 mu/L, please let me know if you are treatment for hypothyroidism also? Because with a BMI of 32.03 kg? Sq meter you are already in grade 1 obesity. This suggests uncontrolled hypothyroidism. Thanks.

I think there is need to optimise your treatment and enhance your social connections. I know it is difficult to find a meaningful reason to live sometimes. But it is a transient phase, keep calm and contact your paychiatrist for optimising your treatment and take cbt sessions from psychologist which will help you restructure your thoughts and thereby you shall know what to do for a living once you are better. All the best.
