    How soon before you noticed th ocd lessening. I'm on it for similar but mine caused by stopping zopiclone never had it before. why did you up the dose out of interest. I would think if things improving probably right dose? i did lower mine slightly as getting awful waves of depression and it'S eased that so now on about 37.

      hey probably only recently but its still very up and down and on bad days its worse but i just had three good days before a bad day today.

      my gp upped the dose because i was still having intrusive thoughts and im a pretty big guy over 6 ft.

      ur on 37mg?
