My doctor switched me from faverin to zoloft (sertraline). should it help despite faverin didn't help ? and if yes how much time does it need for helping with ocd?

Zoloft (sertraline): Zoloft (sertraline) may still help -- it has an indication for ocd like fluvoxamine does. It will require at least 4-6 weeks (and possibly longer) to show effectiveness. Again, i hope you're also working in cognitive behavioral therapy along with medications.
