Plea

I have been taking Buspar 15mg daily & Zoloft 25mg for 2 weeks and 2 days (the reason for the small does is because I am pregnant and also 25 mg worked well in the past) I feel like I am just getting worse. I know everyone says, it will likely get worse before it gets better but I feel like I am going to lose my mind. All day, everyday, is centered around battling anxiety and depression and the intrusive thoughts. I can't sleep hardly at all. My OBGYN told me to try Melatonin, it didnt work. She also suggested Unisom, I was taking half of the sleep tabs, they worked (even though they made me feel really weird before falling asleep.) Last night, I took half again and I was awake literally all night long. I just need reassurance that things will be okay. I feel so hopeless.

i think this is the first time you have been hit by ocd so much, when you will get through this phase you will get more strong mentally, believe me you will get fine,i know it would be very tough for you to get through the day, but you have to do it for your family ,for your baby and in last for yourself, because you have to remember life is a very precious gift

you have taken medicines for 2 weeks , just keep it going  , medicines take time to react, just 2 more weeks and you will see the results, you have to believe that one day you will feel normal again and you will get free from ocd
