eli5 – SSRI therapeutic effects

509 viewsBiologyOther

Currently undergoing treatment for OCD by taking ssri medications – Prozac (Fluoxetine)

Literally, for 3 weeks straight, I didn’t feel a single inch of improvement and suddenly, my symptoms are 100% gone. I could have sworn that i was going OCD crazy the day prior. I thought ssri medications were more gradual. It felt more like a switch being turned on as soon the time was ripe.

My friend’s experience was more of a switch on a Ssri. Not OCD though.

It’s suppose to take 4-6 weeks, but that’s not accounting for the very real placebo effect.
