Brief Answer:
Mostly side effect of fluoxamine. Visit your treating doctor.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query.

The symptoms you have mentioned above looks like a side effect of fluoxamine you are taking for OCD. I would suggest you to meet your treating doctor for dose variation or prescribing an alternate drug.

Coxsackie viral infection also has similar symptoms but as you had it 6 months back, it is very unlikely for the infection to persist. It is self resolving and last for a week or two. As you have no fever or rash, it can be ruled out.

I hope this answered your query.
