Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I do not think OCD medicine is suitable for your husband. If your husband do not find any difference of mental condition with the given medicines, he should consult his psychiatrist and tell him the problem. Proper feed back and continuity in treatment is required for cure of depression and anxiety disorder. Exercise, psychotherapy techniques and meditation are proven methods which should help your husband to manage his problems. Please work with your psychiatrist.

If you still need my assistance in this regard, please use this link. http://goo.gl/aYW2pR. Please remember to describe the whole problem with full detail.

Good luck.
