Hi i was on daxid 150 mg (100morning+ 50 Night)- for about 8 months.Due to two times, i usually started skipping one dose as i started to recover. unfortunately when i was very close to recovered state, i almost frequently missed the doses. which resulted in a rollback of the Obsessive thoughts.I consulted my doc again and she switched me to fluvoxin CR100.- from last 3-4 monthsRight now feel that the effect is rolling back and i am feeling very much confused.Please suggest
Hi, I read you query and can understand what you are going through. Flavoring is definitely one of the treatment options for obsessive compulsive disorder, as is sertraline (David). However, if 10 mg of flavoring is not helping, I would suggest an increase in dose (can be given up to 300 mg/day). If still you find no improvement, switching to some other agent may be advised (even a retrial of sertraline can be considered if you had good response earlier, clomipramine is another option). You have to be careful this time not to interrupt your treatment or skip doses. You can also consider the option of behavior therapy in form of exposure and response prevention together with your medications, and it shows very good response. Wish you a speedy recovery.
