Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I read your query and understand your concerns. From the available description it appears to me that you are probably suffering with obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) which is largely a treatable disorder. In this disorder most efficient drugs are SSRI (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor) class of antidepressants which help the large part of sufferers. The other line of treatment includes serotonergic SSRI and atypical antipsychotic class of medications. I request you to post a detailed query to assist you better. Thank you.

Hi,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
Considering your symptoms the possibility of OCD diagnosis is almost certain. Regarding the treatment, I think the following should work for you. Consult you specialist doctor, discuss with him or her and take the medicine with consent. I suggest you take capsule Prodep (Fluoxetine) 20 mg one capsule in the morning and after one week two capsules in the morning, tablet Sizodon (Risperidone) 1 mg at night, tablet Lonazep (Clonazepam) 0.25 mg SOS, whenever you feel restless or not able to sleep. Continue this treatment for two weeks and then revert back to me for further follow up. I need to explain to you that OCD is one of the most difficult psychiatric disorder to treat and it takes long time to respond. Majority of patients take at least 4 to 12 weeks to show some significant improvement. If you do not feel improvement in first two weeks, then you are not supposed to give up as stated above it is usual for the treatment to take time. In addition to the advised treatment, it is important to go for regular exercise and avoid stress as far as possible. I understand it is difficult, but over a long time it will help you to regain your health which was lost around three years back.
Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
