My brother is suffering from OCD from 2 years. He is taking Amprit 5abd flunil 60 from 2 years. There has been some good results. But no change in his behavior from 4-5 months. Rather he is restless all the time. Can we stop taking meds now? His doctor said that he can't suddenly stop taking meds because it will cause withdrawal symptoms. Is it true? What should we do?

I don't know what is Amprit 5abd. Flunil 60 mg will cause withdrawal symptoms as you doctor informed. Please believe your doctor - it helps Rohit to live his life better. Please find out the reason for his restlessness and treat it. Flunil can be tapered to 40 mg, 20 mg and stopped gradually without any withdrawal symptoms. But if OCD comes back, it is better to maintain on the same dose.
