Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I have an obsessive compulsive disorder. When I was taking Uvox for four years, it was all fine. Now it relapsed, and I am taking Uvox before I used to take Stalopam. Can I get back to my healthy life and go office regularly where I have to do brain work for nine hours? Please let me know. When I will get my healthy life back?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder) responds well to medication (SSRIs - selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors) and psychological therapy (CBT - cognitive behavioral therapy). I presume you are on Fluvoxamine which is useful in OCD. You need to be monitored by your doctor to optimize the dose and monitor for any side effects. If there is no adequate response, alternative SSRI like Sertraline can be tried. Once your symptoms are under control, you can continue to work and function normally. There are lots of people with OCD who are on medication and continue to work well. Also, try to have CBT for OCD which will help to prevent relapse in the future. Thank you.
