I am suffering from OCD and associated symptoms, what medicine should I take?

The first-line medications for OCD are Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs), such as sertraline, fluoxetine, or fluvoxamine. Another highly effective option is clomipramine, a tricyclic antidepressant. These medications help regulate serotonin levels in the brain to reduce intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviours. However, the right medication and dosage depend entirely on your individual medical history. Please consult a psychiatrist for a formal evaluation and a personalised prescription. For the best results, medication is typically combined with specialised psychotherapy, such as Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP).

I have depression, OCD, and phobias; what medicine should I take?

For treating depression, OCD, and phobias, Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) such as sertraline (Zoloft), fluoxetine (Prozac), or escitalopram (Lexapro) are typically the first-line medical treatment because they can effectively address all three conditions. However, the choice of medication depends on your individual medical history. You must consult a psychiatrist for a proper diagnosis and a personalised prescription. For the best results, medication should be combined with psychotherapy, specifically Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). Please do not self-medicate.
