Your OCD symptoms have likely rebounded after stopping medication. This is common, and now the same dose may not be effective. You may need a dose adjustment, medication change, or augmentation—plus CBT with ERP for best results.
Please consult your psychiatrist soon.

Hi Ma’am.
Kindly consult a psychiatrist as your OCD might have relapsed. It means we will have to review the status and then probably change the medication altogether.

Discontinuing medicines abruptly can lead to sudden worsening of symptoms. Restarting fluvoxin may help, but it may take upto 12 weeks for medication to show effect. You may require additional medication at this time. Along with medication, learning behavioral therapy skills is helpful so that you can cope with symptoms without medication.
