Hi there. It's good to know that you have shown some improvement with medications. Please continue the medication and see a Psychiatrist who might consider advising some psychological techniques or add another medication.
I hope this helps.
Aoa, After a good response, repeated symptoms for few days most probably mean that whenever you are under stress your symptoms reappear. Sometimes people who have OCD also have obsessive compulsive personality traits and their symptoms either appear or increase during periods of any mental stress. For this you need to do better self care, knowing what causes you feel stressed will be helpful as you can avoid or learn how to cope better. More over now you can take help from psychologist to learn how to control repeated thoughts and behaviours. CBT is also helpful. Meanwhile maintain regular follow ups with your psychiatrist, keep your trust and do not stop taking medicine.
