Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hello
You may be suffering from OCD type of illness and you consulted a neurologist for it. First thing is that psychiatrist are the expert of it not neurologist and that is why you got a less doses of medication than you needed. Secondly they tried you on two drugs of half doses than one of adequate dose and stopped it without explaining you that these medication need a long term course not just one month.
All this point to one thing that you need to consult a psychiatrist for your problem and need treatment for long duration and these medication need gradual tapering not sudden as it cause rebound symptoms.
Take care
