Dear lybrate-user, ocd medicines are going on for 2 years. Since 2 days symptoms, may be due to other causes. Did you inform the diabetes doctor about her ocd and medicines? If not inform her/him, for drug drug interaction. Let her/him discuss with the psychiatrist about causes of her symptoms. Taking too many medicines, should not the reason to stop medicines. Ocd is a chronic disabling disorder, needing long term treatment sometimes life long. Your mother is the best judge to help you to decide about ocd and stoppage of those medicines.
