Side effect

Hello Sir/Madam, I was diagnosed with OCD two years back.My OCD was related to obsession of looking at private parts of both men and women. The then psychiatrist prescribed me some medicine like Prodep 20,40 and 60 mg and sizodon 0.5 mg and after several weeks sizodon 1 mg. After taking this tablets for around 15 days I felt heaviness in my head and I was stared at most of the public places. And even in my classroom my teacher stared me a lot. I don't know why. Even after two years I have the same feeling after withdrawal from those drugs two years back. Even today people look at me for no reason I felt nervous around public places due to this. It is becoming very tough these days to bear this problem. Sometimes I think OCD was way better than this problem. But now I can't roll back. Sir/ ma'am please help me out as I am struggling these days to maintain daily lifestyle.

Hi, I can empathize with you...See it could be one of the symptoms due to drug effects...But since it persists even after discontinuing meds.  It could be a part of OCD spectrum disorders..or totally different altogether...So without mental status examination to comment upon is difficult..So Consult a Psychiatrist for detailed evaluation and Management of the case.. regards
