Prodep 60 is a commonly used and effective treatment for OCD, and many people need it long-term to keep symptoms under control. If your OCD is well-managed and you are not having troublesome side effects, continuing the medicine may be appropriate. Do not stop or change the dose on your own; any changes should be discussed with your psychiatrist, who can review your symptoms and decide if dose adjustment, therapy (like CBT), or gradual tapering is suitable.
