Brief Answer:
psychiatric referral advised.

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX
Welcome to healthcare magic.
The repeated thoughts about something that one understands are not normal is characteristic features of OCD, which is a mild psychiatric illness.
The drugs you have been prescribed are appropriate for OCD but they will need long duration to take effect and will have to be taken for months to control the problem.
You should also get behavioural therapy by a local psychiatrist.
The drugs do not have much side effects but sometimes may cause drowsiness, dry mouth, judgement errors of driving vehicles or complex machinery.
I hope the advise will be helpful for you.
