Congratulations: It's great to hear that you've been able to battle and win over your condition of OCD after such a long road. You're almost there. Now's NOT the time to panic. You can wait a bit more until you get medication which is still within the time of viability. You should never use any medication or prescription that is expired (typically 1 year from the time of being filled or written).
