I am aged 27 now and started to take Fluoxetine 20mg when I was 20 years old. I continued it for more than 5 years and stopped it because of GI side effects. Then tried Fluvoxamine, Sertralin, Clomipramine and Dothiepin. SSRIs work but Fluvoxamine and Sertralin cause nausea. I finally settled on Escitalopram and it was good at the beginning. But now relapse is a problem. Tried upto 20mg (still continuing). I am married now and sexual side effects are a big problem. What are my options?

Would you consider behavioural therapy (exposure and response prevention)?

we are an Iranian association active in treating OCD.we don,t use any kind of medicine to treate ocd and have been very succesful in treating this problem.in our method we use cognitive therapy and behavior therapy.we specially work on sexual problems of our patients,because we believe that anormal sex drive and satisfying sexual activity is a good cure for ocd.i belive that you need nonmedicine therapy to get ride of ocd.i wish you luck.
