Pari is a good ssri medication, so if it works for you then you should continue to use it. But most research indicates that if you try some form of psychotherapy alongside it, such as cbt or ipt, then your anxiety problems should have greater degree of improvement. Contact a trained psychologist for these.

Hi lybrate-user, You have to take the medication at least for 18 months and further the doctor would decide on whether to continue. In my opinion if your OCD and anxiety is stabilised it sufficient you take XET cr alone but do consult and opine your doctor for the same. Every doctor has a reason to prescribe which every patient should ask for. There would be side effect but in terms of risk benefit you should continue. Good luck!

Then taper off gradually and there are some drugs which can be taken to prevent these symptoms if required.
