Ive been on 25 mg for a month and im going to start 50 mg but im so scared! Is the increase going to make me feel the same as when I first started the med a month ago? Bc it was a lil rough 🙃 my doc says no, but I’m not convinced.
Had this helped anyone with agoraphobia or even social anxiety? I’m on it for OCD but my ocd makes me have both of these things. Lol
I’m just curious I’m not taking medical advice from Reddit 😆
I’m on 25 mg right now and going to probably increase in a week. I feel maybe 10% difference.
I’m only 2 weeks in on a baby dose. I’ve been on fluvoxamine before, years ago but it’s been a while. I’m having a tough day and I’m also on my cycle. Please someone tell me it’s just the meds and they will balance out in a few weeks. Or tell me anything encouraging. I miss my real self. That’s the whole reason I got on this med bc I’ve been working so hard in therapy and I just need a nervous system break. (OCD makes me agoraphobic but I’m not normally like this)
I literally don’t think I’ve ever had a panic attack in my life. I’m always been scared of them. I just get uncomfortable anxiety that makes me want to escape. But I see a lot of people struggling with ag have panic attacks. I have OCD so my brain is scared I will eventually have one but I never do.
My agoraphobia is triggered by certain OCD themes. And when I’m in a flare, that’s when I struggle. Otherwise, I’m fine. I love traveling, going to Disney, being out and about shopping, all the things normal agoraphobic people don’t do. However for the past year and a half I struggle even going into a store. It’s SOOOO frustrating. Like how can I be fine one year and down the next?
I will say overall I am okay. It’s just frustrating. There was a period I didn’t drive or go alone anywhere for years and now I do that daily. So just know, it DOES get better.
