Hi General

For OCD - I have suffering with Pure OCD - irrational thoughts and my psychiatrist said 225mg is the dose needed for OCD. However, you sound under good care and perhaps 75mg was given because of your anxiety. Give them a bit longer and if need be gradually work up your dose according to what your doctor says.

Good Luck
