Suggest Treatment For OCD Of Clearing The Nose

I am 30 years young Structural Engineer from Nepal. I'm having OCD since 9 years and having medicine of OCD since 9 years.But after getting medicine also my OCD doesn't give relief to me. I am taking Alprazolam 0.25mg twice a day,clomipramine 25mg-3 times a day, propanol-10mg twice a day.Also i have left fluoxetine-20 mg 8 month ago after consulting my Dr. because my sex ability reduces. My OCD is strange for me.My nose were runny since my childhood thus my friend and colleagues generally laugh at me due to my runny nose which i seriously take part at age of 21. From 21 years old i thought repeatedly that there is watery fall on my nose thus i check several times my nose with finger, my handkerchief, i takes lake large sound "sukka" so that i inhale water of nose inside. These are abnormal behavior. I take six years allergy vaccine which gave relief for my allergy too but this compulsive thought regularly hunted me up to these days.In earlier time i became nervous but these days i will fill uncomfortable when speaking with friends ,office staff etc. However positive thing is that i have not stop my regular work. i work in reputed company in Nepal, I complete my Master degree during this 9 years but i completely cannot forget this behavior. Can you treat me .

HI
Thanks for using healthcare magic

In OCD, patient needs both medication and behavioral therapy. If you are not getting improvement with medicine, that's mean, you needs both. Better to consult your psychiatrist for both and in case, you need further help, you can ask.

Thanks
