Aware me on Prozac and OCD

[MentalistKebab]

I was diagnosed with OCD few years ago and doctor was prescribed prozac for treatment.
And after using it for few weeks I stopped it because it had a shit taste.

Now my dad want me to use it again because appearantly I am acting weird (only according to him, there was no other person that made a comment like that).

Now my question is :
Does any of you have an OCD too ?
Did prozac helped with it ?
And is there an other thing I can use for OCD instead of prozac that doesnt taste like shit ?

SSRIs can help, but it's not a true solution. Think of them as more of benzodiazepines instead of miracle cures. They have side effects. They don't reach to core issue of the problem, unlike what some 30IQ doctors will tell you. The serotonin theory of mental illness is outdated and has never been proven. Try cognitive behavioral therapy and psychedelics. Also if your dad thinks you acted "weird" off the Prozac, going off the Prozac was not the cause. The Prozac just changed your personality. Make sure not to quit cold turkey.

I think you should try meditation. Bluepilled but it works. By ocd, do you mean you get some thoughts or is it some kind of repetitive actions ?
If it's some kind of actions then the only thing that you can do is be aware of the actions while doing them and think about them later. Try writing a journal.
Hope this helps.

I act exactly like before, after prozac. Its just I sometimes randomlay start running in the home after my depression at November 2019.

I am personally not negatively affected by that tho, and I dont do it when I am not in the house but it only irritates my dad.
