Currently I am taking the following 3 medicines since 2.5 years & have approx. 70 % improvement
1) SERTRALINE 100 MG (1.0.1)
2)PAROXETINE 12.5 MG (0.0.1)
3) RESPERIDONE .5 MG (0.0.1)
Now my questions are:
1) How much more time will I will take to completely
overcome from both OCD & SOMATIC SYMPTOMS.
2) Are medicines enough to completely overcome these symptoms (OCD & SOMATIC).

In general, medication treatment for OCD can last several months to a year or longer, depending on the individual's response to treatment. Treatment for IBS is often longer-term, and symptoms may wax and wane over time.

Hello,
70 percent is good improvement as per our understanding.
You can add psychotherapy to have additional benifit, especially prepare yourself so that we can later decrease the dose of medicine.
