Hello thanks for asking from HCM OCD is a anxiety disorder that is relatively difficult to treat and has waxing and waning course. The drugs are used in high doses for treatment. SSRIs are the drugs used for treatment of OCD. Fluoxetine, Fluvoxamine, Paroxetine etc are used commonly for treatment. The drugs should be used in high dose and also should be coupled with behaviour therapy. Behaviour therapy with relaxation exercises have great efficacy in OCD. So even if with medicines your symptoms are persisting even then please don't feel helpless. OCD is difficult to treat but can be treated with medicines. Discuss with your doctor for the drugs I've mentioned and you will surely feel better.Thanks and Take care
