Hello  OCD or obsessive compulsive disorder is an anxiety disorder. It is characterized by recurrent anxiety due to some intrusive dominant thought, idea. In order to get rid of anxiety individual is compelled to to some ritualized behavior that is called as compulsion. You are on right medicines and in right doses. Like Clomipramine 37.5 mg per day, venlafexine 225 mg per day and resperidone 2 mg per day. If you are not having proper relief then addiction of some SSRI drug like Fluoxetine or Paroxetine can be done. But take opinion of your psychiatrist for that. Behavior therapy is most important step in treatment of OCD. Exposure and response prevention is one of modality of Behavior Therapy. Thought stopping is also useful. Hope I cleared your doubt, if have any more doubts you can ask me a question. Thanks Dr. Seikhoo Bishnoi
