Usually this medicine takes around 4 to 6 weeks to show maximal effect and you will have to take it for 6 months to 9 months. Please also visit a clinical psychologist and undergo 10-12 sessions of cbt for ocd. It is highly effective in combination with medicines. Also you an do a google search for methods like 'thought stopping' and see if it will help.

There may need to be an adjustment that needs to be made to your medications since you have only been on them for 3 weeks. If you have had a response, i.e. Found that some symptoms are better, then you should give the medications some more time. If you are comfortable talking about your symptoms online, then I recommend that you get an online consultation with us. Look forward to hearing from you. If you need help with booking an appointment online with me on this website either text, an appointment for a confidential and private consultation you may do so by contacting the help desk of Lybrate.
