hi..look, OCD is nagging disorder which may not be cured fully by the medication only..you need help from a clinical psychologist and get advice regarding behaviour therapy..that would lessen the need of medication some day..regarding weight-gain you need to modify life-style..exercise regularly and consult a dietician..also you can adjust the dosage of the medication if you are doing well..have a good health..
