hi..thanks for your query. For finding an effective & long lasting cure to your problems I need to know that what set of symptoms you had which were diagnosed as OCD & at present what medications you are receiving. It is true that allmost all Psychiatric illness including OCD are because of some neurotransmitter abnormalities in brain. For effective treatment I usually advocate medicines plus certain lifestyle changes like sleeping min 6-7 hrs every night, doing at least 30 minutes daily physical exercises like cardio, resistance training along with Yoga, pranayama which promote mental health. Depending upon your symptoms of anxiety & their triggers, we can plan out certain behaviour modification techniques known as exposure & response prevention which are known to increase medication effectiveness & hasten cure. Lastly you can visit a website www.nimhans.kar.nic where you can find a very useful patient resource about OCD. You can always get back to me for any further clarification. Good luck
