Last resort medicine
I am 59 years old. I was diagnosed with ocn disease in 1987 and started living a normal life in 1996 .Again I was diagnosed with ocd and anxiety in 2006 and recovered in 2008. Now in January 2022 again suffering from anxiety and depression. I am undergoing treatment. I have a negative fear in my mind that during 1987 to 1995 I have been given some such medicine or last resort medication so no other new medicine will work anymore. I suspect that I have been given such medicines (last resort medicines) during treatment that now no more modern medicine will work. Are there any medicines in psychiatric medicine after taken them no other modern medicine will respond?
It is my doubt or fact. Please remove my fear.God bless you to help me providing information .

Not at all. There are medications that are used as a last resort ie when no other medications work, however there are no medications that will make other medicines stop working. This overthinking may be a result of your anxiety, which should settle down after a few days if you are on a proper medication regime.

I would suggest you consider speaking to a psychologist who can help you deal with your anxiety by teaching you relaxation exercises and also help you control your negative thinking.

Sir,
Broadly speaking these things are not encountered in day to day practice
Please visit a psychiatrist with your past records to clarify your doubts in detail
Few OCD's have episodic course and they are bound to reoccur after some time
