Fluoxetine ocd/anxiety

[Whencanigo]

What’s the best dose for ocd/anxiety/overthinking/getting overwhelmed?
tried 10-20 mg a while ago. Didn’t have a huge effect.

My 12yo son is on 30mg of fluoxetine for severe OCD. Unfortunately there hasn't been any improvement. I think the psychiatrist will probably up his dose at the next appointment. It's a horrible illness. I had it too when I was a teenager. I hope things improve for you soon.

@Funnywonder so sorry about your son😞

Anyone else got any thoughts?

I think 20 is the minimum therapeutic dose for OCD but you can go up to 80.

I've been on 20mg for 14 years for anxiety and ocd. I probably should increase it, but when I tried, I had bad side effects

@overthinkersanonnymus thank yiu. Do you find 20 works ok for you?

It keeps it at bay but I do still have blips every few months
