Hi lybrate-user Most commonly used medicines for OCD are classed as SSRIs which include fluoxetine, paroxetine, fluvoxamine etc although some other medicines may also be used. In common practice these are called antidepressants as they were first developed to help treat depression but later through research they were found to be beneficial in OCD as well. If you have been diagnosed with Depression by your psychiatrist you may be currently using or have used one of these medicines. The dosage of SSRIs used in OCD may usually be higher than in Depression or anxiety. Please consult your psychiatrist for further evaluation before initiating or altering your treatment. Hope that helps.
