OCD is a disorder where you need to take medicine for a longer time. It causes some chemical imbalances in brain and only medicines can correct it. However research has found that a combination if therapy and medicine is better than medicine alone. You can request your doctor to consider therapy as well. The medications you are taking is recommended for OCD world wide. So please take them as suggested by your doctor. You should also visit your doctor for regular follow up.

Hi lybrate-user, You have to take the medication at least for 18 months and further the doctor would decide on whether to continue. In my opinion if your OCD and anxiety is stabilised it sufficient you take XET cr alone but do consult and opine your doctor for the same. Every doctor has a reason to prescribe which every patient should ask for. There would be side effect but in terms of risk benefit you should continue. Good luck!
