UR WIFE IS SUFFERING FROM OBSESSIVE COMPULSIVE DISORDER(OCD) WITH CO-MORBID DEPRESSION. THE ANXIETY IS A PART AND PARCEL OF OCD ITSELF. IF SHE IS NOT SHOWING GOOD RESPONSE TO HER CURRENT MEDICATIONS, I SUGGEST THE FOLLOWING-
1.TRY FLUOXETINE 20 MG ONCE A DAY, INCREASE TO 40 MG AFTER 3 DAYS AND THEN FURTHER UPTO 60 MG ONCE A DAY, DEPENDING ON THE TOLERABILITY AND THE RESPONSE.IT WILL TAKE CARE OF OCD AS WELL AS DEPRESSION
2. U CAN TRY TAB CLONAZEPAM 0.5 MG TID DOSE. IT WILL TAKE CARE OF THE ANXIETY
3.IF OCD IS VERY SEVERE, A SMALL DOSE OF TAB RESPERIDONE (1-2MG) CAN BE GIVEN AS AN ADD-ON DRUG.

COGNITIVE BEHAVIOR THERAPY WILL ALSO BE BENEFICIAL FOR OCD . EXPOSURE AND RESPONSE PREVENTION IS ALSO FINE BUT IT CAN INCREASE THE ANXIETY...SO DO NOT GO FOR IT TILL ANXIETY REDUCES AND BECOMES MANAGEABLE
