hello sir. I am a male 30 yrs. Having pure o, ocd issues for the past one year. Been trying to help my self but was not able to. Recently I met a physiatrist he told me ti take tab etilaam pro 20 mg and tab fluvoxamine 100 mg. One tablet daily at night for two months. After that he will asses my condition to either decrease or increase my dose. I wanted your good advice as I have not yet started medications as I am afraid of their side effects and afraid that it might lead me to something bigger. I am daily suffering from anxiety because of my ocd which than leads to headache on a daily basis. Please help me. Should I take the medications will the tabs help me? I do not want to increase the dose at all cost. And I am really afraid of this medications for the brain. Please help me as I am in a remote area I cannot easily consult my physiatrist if the medications will bring a negative effect. Hope to hear from you with the best advice as thoughts ocd is ruining my peaceful life.
