OCD Treatment. Body same or different?

Yes, both Uvox CR and Voxee contain the same medicine - Fluvoxamine, commonly prescribed for OCD. The difference is mainly the brand and formulation. Uvox CR is a controlled release version, while Voxee is the standard immediate-release tablet. Both work in the same way, but the release pattern and timing may vary slightly.

Since you had withdrawal effects after suddenly stopping, it's important not to discontinue fluvoxamine on your own. Always taper under your doctor's guidance. Continue your new prescription as advised and monitor your symptoms closely. Alongside medication, counselling/therapy is highly recommended for better long-term results - you may consult with me for support.

Take your medication at the same time daily, avoid checking repeatedly on the internet as it can increase doubts, and practice stress-reducing routines like relaxation exercises or mindfulness to complement treatment.

Hi I understand. Medicines like fluvoxamine (Uvox CR, Voxee) help stabilize the chemical imbalance that drives OCD, but they don’t teach the brain new habits. That’s where therapy especially CBT with ERP is most powerful. From a therapy perspective, the goal is to reduce your reliance on medication over time by giving you tools to manage obsessions and compulsions. ERP gradually exposes you to triggers and teaches you to resist rituals, so your brain learns that anxiety comes down on its own. Along with mindfulness, thought-labeling, and grounding, this builds long-term strength. Medicines can support in the background, but therapy rewires the pattern so that even if medicine is reduced later, your skills stay with you. Take therapy.
