everyone's different. that's the problem. But you know I did this with the Zoloft and I dont know if it REALLY did effect me negatively or if I obsessed so much I gave myself the panic attacks/negative feeling. I think you need to go into more positively.
Prozac is supposed to be one of the better ssri's for OCD.

I have been wondering lately if my Effexor is working as well as it once did. I'm conflicted because I'm in a much more stressful position than I was and have been through a lot in the last year or so. But I'm definitely scared of even broaching switching with the meds.
Has anyone else gone from Effexor to another drug? And what were your results?

Can you give hte Prozac a try before you try to get pregnant? That might help reassure you that you'll be okay.
Wish you all the best!

Funny that you say that, because that is what I am doing, I am going to be switching any day onto Prozac.. and not trying to conceive until end of July or August so I will have about 2 full months on it, by early July, I should know if it is not right for me or not, and if that is the case I will switch back to Luvox. They are not saying no to Luvox but rather, chosing Prozac over that. Thanks for the advice, logically I should not worry b/c I can always switch back, true....just OCDing about it, LOL.

I just replied to another thread about Prozac. I have been on it for many years now. Everybody is different, so probably you'll really just have to try... I can relate to your feeling stressed, because if something works of course you don't want to switch! UNLESS... you have to. And who knows, maybe you will feel even better on Prozac?
What I mean to say... let's try to be positive. I mean, we never know, but we need not expect the worst or anything bad at all. (Unfortunately we OCDers tend to obsess, that's what we are good at...;) ) Anyway, let us know how it goes! I hope you will have a WONDERFUL response to Prozac like I did!!
Hugs,
