Question

Post Body

Hey all. I was recently prescribed meds to try to tackle my OCD using an SSRI, but with holidays coming up as well as a backpacking trip I'm a bit worried about side effects for now. I was told by the prescriber that side effects would only last 1 to 2 weeks, in time for my trip a month from now, but I have a bit of trouble believing that due to other accounts I've read about side effects. I'm also not sure what to expect in terms of side effects. However I would very much like to lessen my OCD for sure. The amount I'll be taking will be 20MG. Thoughts, experiences?
