Hey, alprax 0.5 is usually not meant for OCD. Yes, it does work on anxiety.
Though we really need more history about the OCD symptoms so we can evaluate your severity and after doing your liver function test we can prescription an apt medication which does not damage your liver and also treat your OCD.
Next Steps
Please do consult a psychiatrist online or offline.

Hi.Glad you reached out. Usually SSRI medications like citalopram,escitalopram,sertraline can be tried. however as you have previously developed hepatotoxicity with low risk medications as well, you have to closely monitor your LFT regularly.Also add in cognitive behavioral therapy along with low dose medications can be effective in your case. There are newer treatments like rTMS that can be started based on your clinical condition.
