OCD: The short answer is, if you are on medication, to ask your doctor to adjust the dose or get you on new medication. Medications are prescribed differently for different people, and sometimes it takes some trials to find the right one. Also, you might try Cognitive Behavior Therapy and other behavioral therapies.
