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. I hope that you are also using therapy in the form of counseling to help with your obsessive thoughts leading to compulsive behaviors and cbt is the preferred form of counseling. If you have further questions regarding side effects please ask them...more

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.

No, fluoxetine does not decrease your bp. Headache is a temporary side effect of fluoxetine and it will go away within the first week. If the headache lasts longer, you can contact psychiatrist to change the medication.

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.

Prodep 10 MG Capsule can make you feel drowsy or dizzy. It is advised not to drive or do any other activity that requires your complete concentration. In case you are an elderly patient, be careful when you are getting up from a sitting or sleeping position to avoid a sudden fall. Also, you must avoid alcohol while you are under this medication.

Hello
you may be aware that ocd can be a chronic condition which can be more prominent during stressful periods. Ocd can be effectively managed by a combination of medication and psychological therapy like cbt. You have been on prodep (fluoxetine) for few years with certain degree of benefit. Have you ever had cbt? Cognitive behavioural therapy (cbt) will be beneficial to control ocd symptoms. Kindly check with your doctor about availability of cbt in your city.
