Hello doctor I am suffering from religious sexual ocd and ocd, depression also, doing a lot of mental and physical rituals in response to obsessions, for which I consulted psychiatrist yesterday and he prescribed sertraline and etizolam for that. Sir I have to ask whether I can continue from today or I must continue after my brother's marriage since my elder brother's marriage is scheduled after 2 weeks. I am asking because I fear side effects can affect my responsibility at time of marriage.

You can start taking it from now, but there are better medications for sexual obsessions, am surprised. Anyway it will also work and reduce the symptoms over a period of time. All the best.

Mr. lybrate-user you can start taking medications from today itself. It is unlikely that these medications should have any major side effects that affect your responsibility or functioning. Also, be in regular touch with your treating doctor.

Dear Anand, You have been suffering from OCD for quite some time. You have been managing your duties with OCD. It does not matter, if you start tablets after another 2 weeks. For your information, the side effects of sertraline and etizolam will not prevent you to do your responsibilities during your brother's marriage.
