Psychiatrist 's  Response
OCD is a disorder which comes and goes. it consist of two types of treatment one is medicine and second is excercise ,yoga and exposure response prevention therapy or behaviour therapy. one can choose either one or both. i would suggest you to take prodep 20 mg and to do excercise , yoga and take behaviour therapy sessions also . combined every thing together will produce excellent results and will be long lasting. prodep 20 mg is low dose and its a good thing that you had your symptoms controlled at such a low dose. but if you will leave your symptoms untreated your OCD may get severe with time . so better adopt treatment as per your choice.
