Hi and thanks for question.
for OCD prozek is standard choice of drug. so continue with that drug. risperidone why given is not clear in question. because antipsychotuc drug only start when pt have some psychotic symptoms, if given for anxiety than stop and start buspiron at 10 mg dose which reduce her anxiety and also improve her OCD symptoms.
thanks
