Low dose antipsychotic (risperidone and aripiprazole) found to be effective in early onset ocd symptoms.

Hello. Low dose risdone helps in reducing anxiety as well as oc symptoms. But try to take plain risdone instead of risdone plus. Also do not consume etipax for a long duration of time. Rest is good.
