Hello Lybrate-User, You said you'd consulted doctor psychiatrist. Kindly go for a erp treatment, psychotherapist can treat you for this. I have treated such cases of severe intensity ocd, you need to work on this so that to overcome in time. Though erp is little difficult to follow for the patients who have been going easy with medication. But it is found to be effective in long term and without any side effects.

Dear lybrate-user, ocd is a chronic problem needing long term medicines. When you find improvement with serta, please continue it. Long term side effects will be taken care by regular visits to psychiatrist. Serta is not habit forming tablet. You could easily stop it on some days. If it is habit forming, you will not stop it and you will buy them and keep on your own. You may also increase it to 200-300 mg with no benefit if it is addicting.

This is chronic disease in the brain. We can control it, not cure it. Cognitive behaviour therapy can also be done by trained professionals. Like high bp long term treatment is advised. Other drugs can also be used.

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a common mental health problem. Symptoms typically include recurring thoughts and repetitive actions in response to the recurring thoughts. A common example is recurring thoughts about germs and dirt, with a need to wash your hands repeatedly to "clean off the germs". However, there are many other examples. The usual treatments are cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) antidepressant medicine, or both. Treatment often works well to reduce the symptoms and distress of OCD greatly. Rather than brooding over stopping medicine, acquire scientific knowledge about your disorder, it's proper treatment for long term well being.
