Hello lybrate-user first of all thanks for the question. I hope you have mentioned correct diagnosis with the help of doctor. Right now you are taking 37.5 mg of paroxetine. I want to know about status of ocd, how much improvement came after beginning of medicine. How much improvement you still expect? Maximum dose depend on patient's tolerability. Common side effects you need to know are: sedation, weight gain, delayed ejaculation, dryness of mouth, sometimes erectile dysfunction. Max dose can be 48-60 mg. Before hiking dose you should take advice from your doctor. It depends on many factors.
