I spend 1.5 - 2 hours showering. the lack of focus and sleep deprivation make my ocd worse. what medication is best for ocd as i cant stop it despite being aware of it.

OCD: There is no "one best" medication. SSRI's, SNRI's & even TCA's can be used. OCD can be difficult to treat. I recommend that you consult with a psychiatrist to manage your medications.
