Hi.. first thing nexito is not a sleep inducing medicine. It's an SSRI. Used for anxiety and depression. The plus in nexito plus is clonazepam, a benzodiazepine. Usually higher doses are needed in OCD. However will need further history regarding the same to advise appropriately.
Next Steps
Consult online for further evaluation and  management. Alternatively you can take a consultation by call/ whatsapp.. Search Dr. Shailaja Bandla, Psychiatrist on Google for Contact info.

According to your question, I'm assuming that you are responding only partially to the treatment and that some symptoms are still preventing you from fully recovering. First of all, self-dosing can be extremely harmful to oneself since these medicines functions at the neurotransmitter levels of the brain. This is crucial to realise when using any psychiatric medication. Second, if you believe that the prescribed dosage is not helping you, you should discuss your concerns with the consulting psychiatrist so that they can better guide you and promote your recovery. Thirdly, patience is essential because the majority of psychotropic medications take time to fully manifest their effects. There may be unpleasant side effects from quickly titrating doses.
Next Steps
I would suggest you consult your psychiatrist for dosages of ongoing treatment and if there is any scope of change in the line of management.
