Hello doctor, I am suffering from ocd since 22 years & on psychiatric medicines. My ocd is manageable now. I am on delok 30 mg + hexidol 0.75 mg + zolcalm 5 mg daily. Also I am working in rotational shift duties so to avoid drowsiness, alert, stay motivated in working hours my doctor prescribed modafinil 50 mg. Please advice is it safe to use zolcalm 5 mg (before sleep) & modafinil 50 mg daily (before work start) for long time. I am very concerned although these are very low dosage, if I use longtime will it damage my brain or create other physical or mental problem.

You should continue treatment, regarding your body function I would like to suggest that you should do basic blood tests at 2 or 3 months interval.

Great to listen that your ocd is under control, these dosage are very less and side effects at these dosage are least likely. You can continue it for long. Yes, routine blood investigation including liver function test should be assessed periodically.
