Hi,
I read your query. It would have been better if you had mentioned what symptoms you are suffering from. For obsessive compulsive disorder, Feliz s (Escitalopram) is a treatment option. But you will be needing a higher dose thatn 5 mg/day and the total dose has to be adjusted depending on the response to treatment. Rivotril (Clonzepam) will aid in sleeping and help control anxiety in the initial phase of treatment as escitalopram will take some time to show its effect.
I hope that helped. Best wishes.
