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
Hola Jem,
No tengo experiencia con sertralina, pero sí sé que para el TOC es más efectivo en dosis más altas, así que espero que este ajuste mejore las cosas para ti. ¡No te desanimes porque ya han pasado 4 semanas, a veces puede tomar 6-8! ¡Ánimo!

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!
