[|Human|] Hi,  My sister aged 53 yrs is suffering from OCD since childhood which seems to be getting worse as she is growing older. She is currently on Olimet 2.5mg (Once a day) for the past 3 -4 years. However there does not seem to be any improvement in her OCD.  The doc here has now asked me to start her on Sertraline 25mg (twice a day). Will this help control her OCD t some extent ?  Would homeopatChatDoctoredicine help her ?
[|AI|]  Hello, Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor for posting your query. I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through.aliment 2.5 mg and sertraline 25 mg will not help her with OCD. The treatment of OCD essentially requires the medications in high dosages. Lower dosage won't help. OCD is a very common illness and effects many. It can be mild and sometimes unrecognizable, and sometimes it can be severe. You certainly need to be treated for OCD. Although there are plenty of options available like clonal, fluoxetine, Escitalopram, fluoxetine, sertraline etc. all in high dosage my best option for my patients is fluoxetine in higher dosages. If at all sertraline is used, it has to be used above 200 mg. Also, there is an option of cognitive behavioral therapy. This therapy is taken by either a psychologist or a psychiatrist in which the therapist identifies impaired cognitions (Thoughts) and try to correct them. They are 15-20 min weekly session and there should be around 8-10 sessions to help you with your illness. Hope I am able to answer your concerns. If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you. In future if you wish to contact me directly, you can use the below-mentioned link:bit.ly/ Chat Doctor.
