Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hi,

It would have helped had you given more details about the symptoms that you are having for reaching a confident diagnosis. Considering that you have OCD, I am not sure why nebistar was prescribed as it is not considered treatment for OCD.

I would certainly advise you to consult a psychiatrist in person. Had I been your psychiatrist, I would have reviewed your symptoms to come to a conclusion about diagnosis. If you are suffering from OCD, you can be treated with medications like Fluvoxamine. Generally, the medicines will need time to show its action, so you will have to be patient about it. In addition you can also consider the option of behavior therapy in form of exposure and response prevention.

Hope this information was useful. Best wishes.
