Pure O and intrusive thoughts

I've had pure o since I was a little girl which changed to harm pure o when I had my first child 45 years ago. I eventually saw my GP in 1999 who prescribed me Seroxat things were great for a good few years, but when my granddchildren came along and I had a couple of operations all in the space of a year Seroxat stopped working as well.

Since then after a trying a few other meds I was put on Fluoxetine 10 mg in November steadily increasing to 60mg which made my intrusive thoughts worse, so I have been lowered to 40mg to try to see if this works any better, It has improved a little but not as much as I hoped.

Does anyone know if I have to give this lower dose time to adjust the same as I did when I increased as it has only been 4 weeks on this.

Thank you
