Asking For Self, Male 24, peshawar

i was taking prozac 40 mg for OCD . after 2 months of taking prozac my ocd got better upto 75 percent. so for another 2 months my ocd was 75 percent better but after that me and my psychiatrist thought we should increase it to 60 mg. after being on 60 mg for 2 days one of our relative died. and we went to their house for to meet his family .before this I was having no obsessions but only 1 obsession started related to our relative death and i had those thoughts for 2 weeks and my ocd started getting worse day by day and after 1 month of all this my ocd got worse like before and we thought if prozac have stopped working and we decided to stopped prozac .and we stopped it. i want to know if my ocd got worse due to dose increase or prozac stopped working or due to the our relative death which caused some obsessions and after this ( prozac ) we tried alot of other ssri and antipsychotics but none of them are working. what should i do know. should i retry prozac or what

well, actually u couldnt achieve complete remission and faced stress, which caused relapse of symptoms...on that time it was ideal tostart ERP therapy with or wotout CBT and wait for the response but ur medication switched....now u have to wait for 8 to 12 weeks to see the response of medication
