Hello - fluvoxamine is an effective medication for anxiety, depression and ocd. It should be taken daily. - alprazolam is meant for short term use only to manage excessive anxiety and panic symptoms. It can be taken as needed but not advisable for long term use as it causes dependency and tolerance. - in addition to medication, you can consider psychological therapy for managing ocd and depression. - also yoga and regular exercise helps. Take care.
