Your condition should have improved by week 4, I suggest you contact your Dr. and inform him/her, perhaps you need a dose adjustment.
I suggest you try Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT).
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), a type of psychotherapy, is effective for many people with OCD. Exposure and response prevention (ERP), a component of CBT therapy, involves gradually exposing you to a feared object or obsession, such as dirt, and having you learn ways to resist the urge to do your compulsive rituals. ERP takes effort and practice, but you may enjoy a better quality of life once you learn to manage your obsessions and compulsions.
