How Can Severe OCD Be Treated?

I suffer from OCD, I stay in China. I am a Neuroscientist. From last one year I was on Fluvoxamine. I started with 200 mg and my intrusive thoughts are checked. Then after 4 months I reduced to 150 mg, and this was also effective, again I reduced to 100 mg, and my symptoms were in check. Recently week back the dossage I reduced to 50 mg, but ocd retuns full fledged, So I am now with 100 mg for last 4 days, but symptoms are stll same. Could you suggest what exact dossage I need to check?

Hello,

Fluvoxamine drug can be given up to 300 mg. Once you are stable on a particular dose, keep that dose. Do not reduce the dose as next time you might need a higher dose if you have reduced or stopped it.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Rohit Kothari
