OCD can sometimes take time to respond but it's very necessary that doses of the medications are optimal. For OCD we need higher doses of medications for longer periods than depression. So you should consult the psychiatrist for the optimisation of your treatment or need for medication change.

Hello, I understand these thoughts can be quite distressing.
If your symptoms are not improving despite taking treatment everyday as prescribed for 3-4 months, then it’s a good idea for you to review your treatment with your psychiatrist.
OCD can be distressing if left untreated, but thankfully we have many treatment options available now.
Next Steps
Do not stop your medication. Review your treatment with a psychiatrist
