Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic
In OCD, patients need longer treatment. If you have been suffering with this problem for 9 years, in that case, you need medicine for life long. If you are getting slightly benefit with paroxetine, you can try other drugs like fluoxetine, fluoxamine or clomipramine. Rest, you can discuss with your psychiatrist. In case, you need further help, you can ask.
Thanks
