Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic

If you are not getting any benefit from prozac or wellbutrin, then you can try fluvoxamine or clomipramine. These drugs have better anti-obsessional effect as compared to prozac. You have to consult a psychiatrist for these drugs because these drugs are not available over the counter.

Thanks
