OCD

I had OCD before I went on sertraline but have been on the tablets now for over 4 weeks. The general anxiety has improved but the OCD and depression is still there and I'm counting everything still in my head. I thought sertraline was good for these things. Spoke to doctor today and agreed to increase to 75 mg which I will do tomorrow morning. Anyone experiencing or had the same issues and more to the point did they get better?! Any info greatly appreciated. X

Sertraline saved my moms life! It takes a while but eventually you will see results! I hope to get on it soon as all my results come back normal. Hope We're as lucky as my mom was with this medication

Hi Jem, 

I don't have experience with sertraline but I do know for OCD it's more effective at higher doses, so hopefully this fix will improve things for you! Also don't get discouraged because its been 4 weeks, sometimes it can take 6-8!! Hang in there!

Hello!

I cannot really give much information, as I got over my OCD on my own without the use of medication. However, I have people in my family who also have OCD and are on sertraline. In their experiences it took 6-8 weeks to start helping and a higher dose was when it all started to come together and be beneficial. No more OCD for them!
