Dear Lybrate user. Let me give you an example. You see that motor vehicle accidents occurring everyday around you. Would you stop travelling by motor vehicles because of that? Certainly not. Likewise, the side effects of any drug/medicine is not applicable for everyone who takes it. If a medicine is tested with 1000 people for research purposes, only a few of them may have such side-effects. Otherwise, if a particular medicine causes side-effects in every user, it will not be allowed to hit the market. Nothing to worry about it. Just stick to your doctor's advice.

Dear lybrate user. I can understand. Sexual obsessive compulsive disorder is pretty common and don't worry about that. Worrying could worsen the problem and you will feel anxious. Usually cognitive behavior therapy is used for curing this. CBT needs to be applied over a period of three months. Take care.
