Can Pure O OCD be medicine induced?
Hi all! Without going into too much detail, I have had ocd tendencies for pretty much my whole life but just got diagnosed a couple days ago after being in a hellish season. The hellish season did not start until 5weeks into Prozac when my mind went absolutely insane, I think I had the true black box warning reaction to the meds- I hadn’t ever thought or ruminated about harmful situations until this point, it was always health related for me until now- and now it’s like it’s all my brain can do is think of violent or harmful things. I’m a 27 yo female. My docs took me off of Prozac immediately when I told them what was going on, but my mind hasn’t been the same since. I’ve been off of it for about 10 weeks now. I understand that the way my brain is isn’t truly me, But just wondering how the heck to get onto a road to recovery/what might it look like if this was largely medicine-induced. I’m only on Buspar 7.5mg 2x a day bc my docs are afraid of doing more SSRI’s bc of my reaction to Prozac.
Anyone have any insight/similar stories? Thank you!
