Hi,
I understand that these continuous thoughts can be really distressing. Given that OCD takes time to remit fully, the response to the medications prescribed which you have mentioned is actually encouraging. In my opinion the dose of Tab Fluoxetine can be optimised further to improve the response even more.
Next Steps
