Hi Ed.
i mentioned previously that i take 20 mgs. prozac for ocd, well, i went to a new pdoc yesterday, and it looks like i will be going to 40, he feels 20 is much too low for ocd.
when you were explaning the feeling on high dose prozac, it actually felt soothing, thinking about sitting serenely on the couch, anyone with ocd would know that is a trial with our obsessions!!i truly hate, [like i mentioned before] the apathy associated with higher doses, and the sexual side-effects, but this ocd is a unrelenting prescence, i guess i have to go along with the program for now. the new dr. was really nice, took time to explain his personal theory on ocd, so i hope the higher dose helps.
i wish you much luck if you decide to go to higher doses of "zac", and i'll keep you posted on my progress. i guess i'm "chairbound" soon, lol, but i would love to enjoy that serenity again of a cleared ocd mind!! take care....john
