Excellent. It's doing something, so you're not going through this all for nothing; and since you're still at a fairly low dose, this might be promising of its therapeutic effects at a higher dose. Be aware though that full therapeutic effects, even on a higher dose, take some four weeks to three months (especially for OCD) to take effect. So you might wanna consider, for instance, staying on 75mg a bit longer. The choice is up to you of course.
Personally, I'm considering to stay away from full serotonin reuptake inhibition because of the antidopaminergic side-effects; on the other hand, when I don't get enough relief from my anxious depression, I might just need to go full SRI after all.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Current meds: imipramine 12.5mg + amitriptyline 6mg at bedtime; sertraline 12.5mg + ondansetron 2mg + modafinil 50mg in the morning'Some of the Magic Syrup was Preserved'
