HI There is no such rule. It's completely different. OCD Severity is calculated by YBOCS scale. If there is good response to a medication we increase its dose to max tolerating dose to see a subclinical OCD . If that fails we augment. In OCD more than 30 percentage changes in YBOCS we call as response. Then we increase . Max sertraline permitted dose is 300 mg. The we augment.
