[|Human|] I am an old woman, aged 68. Suffering from ocd. In 2001, I was advised to take citalopram and was fully cured and rid of all symptoms. But again in 2009, I had a relapse. under the advice of my psychiatrist , I am presently having fluvaxamine 100 mg twice daily plus citalopram 10 mg twice daily.  Is of no sustained benefit. Can I switch over to some other drug?
