Psychiatrist 's  Response
Hi


I admire you for positive outlook.

The medicine that have you taken is good to treat OCD.

If still you have symptoms then need to increse the dose of clofranil gradually up to 225 mg.

I have treated OCD patients with such a full dose.

Still you won't improve then discuss with your psychiatrist about therapy.

Fluoxamine is good alternative to fluoxetine.

Exposure and response prevention is good psychotherapy in OCD

Now a days CBT means cognitive behavior therapy become more popular to treat OCD.

Consult your doctor and get advise.

Thank you.
