Some a big Problem
Sir, a Psychiatrist has prescribed me Flunil 40 mg for this symptom. Because of OCD, I automatically get obscene images about my mother in my mind, which causes anxiety. I just wanted to confirm if this medicine is really suitable for such symptoms. Please guide me, Sir.

Yes flunil ( fluoxetine )is the FDA approved drug for OCD.
Don’t doubt your doctor and follow their advice.
However the dosage required can vary from person to person and some may even need other drugs to augment / amplify the effect of SSRI.
Follow up regularly and discuss your concerns with your psychiatrist. They are there to help you out.

Hey sir
Flunil 40 is actually a very common and right choice for what you’re describing. Those intrusive, obscene thoughts about your mother aren’t who you are they’re classic OCD thoughts that the brain throws up just to trigger anxiety. It’s like your mind testing you with the worst thing it can imagine. The medicine helps calm that loop and makes it easier to control your reactions instead of panicking every time a thought comes.
Don’t judge yourself for it this isn’t you, it’s your OCD talking. Keep taking the meds regularly, don’t stop on your own, and pair it with CBT or ERP therapy to train your mind to stop reacting to these thoughts. You’ll start feeling lighter in a few weeks. Take therapy. You can connect with me on nine two six six seven two six zero six five.
