Who has tried SSRIs to treat 4S?

[Guest guest]

I'm wondering how many of us have tried an SSRI medication to treat the symptoms

of 4S. I

took 50mg of Zoloft and my OCD symptoms disappeared (though the meds took about

6

weeks to start working, and it did get a bit worse before it got better). I am

not currently

taking it, and my symptoms have remained at bay. But 50mg is not a very big

dose - I know

the Rx for Zoloft can go up to 100mg. Have any of you tried this high a dose

and still

received no relief? 4S seems so close to OCD, it's hard for me to understand

why the

medication wouldn't work at all. Just curious . . .

Wishing everyone a peaceful Thanksgiving Day . . .

It was great for my o.c.d and chocolate and gambling addiction, but didn't affect the 4s at all
