Am taking Fluoxitine 20mg and Lithosun 400 with sleeping pills. Trichotillomania resulted with bald spots and now even after stopping hair pulling my anxiety is in same level. I fear much about my condition. No job for last 7 years. Feeling alone. I tried Fluoxitine 20 mg to 80 mg perday. But no result. Very anxious and scared. I feel like tablets are not working. Please help. Thanks.

I'm having lip biting and some other types of  OCD, Anxiety, Social Anxiety, Stress and possibly depression due to long term effects of all these conditions. Should i visit a Clinical psychologist first or a Psychiatrist first? Because i know both therapy and medicine work. Should medicine come first or therapy?

I have been diagnosed with my OCD in mid 2017. i am having this continous blasphemy thoughts which are intrusive. as i am a religious person, i feel more guilty and think myself that i am a sinner by having these intrusive thoughts about hindu gods. i consulted a doctor in 2018 and by his suggestion, i am under medication using Fluvaxomine tablets - 150mg per day. but still, i am getting these thoughts and i couldn't control my thoughts when i look at any God's idols or pictures anywhere. this is killing me. now, my query is that can my condition be curable through the medication or shall i have to got to CBT therapies ?

Is treatment with paroxentine (pexep cr), clonafit and propranolol safe? Would I have withdrawal symptoms? How else can I come out of anxiety and panic attacks? My doctor says the treatment will go on for atleast 8 months.
