Thanks for the reply, I have ocd issue and anxiety as it starts with thought and end up with panic attacks at times, clonil 10 helped me relieve upto some extent but after 3 - 4 days my body became less reactive to this medicine and then fir one day I took clonil 10 2 tablets it controlled my ocd and then again I continued with clonil 10. So what is your view?

Perhaps I have to repeat myself: don't ever self-medicate. These doses that you are taking and changing frequently must be approved or prescribed by the psychiatrist for your own safety and to gain the full benefits of the medicines. Clonil is an excellent prescription but you must adhere to the doctor's prescription. Ocd is a fear-based condition and for some reason, you have not been dealing with a childhood fear which has now developed into these repetitive adaptations to seem to need it for normal functioning. The behavior will then become based on magical thinking and certain rituals will become necessary to do normal things making you believe that either the frequency or the ritual is important to its success. This of course is a fallacy but there will come a time that even if told the truth, your belief will defy any logic and you will continue behaving like that even if it cripples you in your daily routines. It only appears as though some other force is behind these behaviors and that you are compelled to act in this fashion. That is obviously not true but no one can convince you of anything different. The obsession is a repeating thought pattern with no meaningful outcome, and the compulsiveness is the need to act on those obsessions also in a repeated behavior pattern as though you just cannot help yourself. This is all driven by fear and when you are frustrated with it, you will escalate anger over it. Doubt, insecurity, uncertainty, and lack of firm memory will all plague you and increase stress. There are certain behavioral techniques to be implemented and if they work you may get out of this condition rather easily. If that does not work as desired, then medication has to be introduced, and in combination with counseling much work can be achieved.
