Life has been a bit crazy-making lately. A few weeks ago I started to titrate down from my uber high dose of Zoloft (sertraline) so that I could try out Prozac. And as I much as I feel like the Zoloft never really noticeably affected my thought patterns or my ability to fight my OCD, I have been hesitant to proceed in going down in dosage. Meanwhile, my psychiatrist is out on leave, and I have been further hesitant to call the psychiatrist covering for her in her absence. But I haven't proceeded with the schedule for decreasing medication dosage, and I should probably talk to someone about it. Part of my hesitation to going down in dose is rooted in OCD, I believe. OCD is probably also the reason I stayed on the Zoloft (and my super high dose) for so long. It didn't seem to be harming me. I WAS getting better, albeit ever so slowly, as I continued to move forward in CBT. And if my ability to progress was, in fact, facilitated by the meds...
