Answers:
Medication can take some time to start working!. You might also need to change your medication or dose to have any effect!. I spent over a year on a merry-go-round of different drugs (Anafranil, Luvox, Zoloft and a lowish dose of Lovan [Prozac] as well as anti-psychotic drugs) with just horrible side effects to show for it!. Only the third Psychiatrist could help- I went onto a much higher dose of Prozac and finally got some relief!. I was able to do so many things I couldn't before, but unfortunately, got overconfident, and went off the meds!. After some time, stress triggered my OCD again, but going back onto the Prozac seems to be helping even at this stage already!.
Reading about other people's experiences will give you more ideas- try searching for online forums, and I can definitely recommend "Rewind, Replay, Repeat" (a true memoir written by Jeff Bell)Www@Answer-Health@Com

Stop trying to stop the obsessive thoughts, fighting it makes it worse!. Accept that you have them!. I've had the same obsession, it stinks!. I've also had way worse obsessions, horrible, gut-wrenching obsessions!. You have to face them, accept them, it takes their power away!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You should contact your psychiatrist and tell him/her what you are experiencing, especially the thoughts of suicide!. Explain that the medication isn't helping with your OCD or helping you to cope with it!. You could need a med adjustment!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
