How obsessive-compulsive disorder medication works online

Navigating treatment shouldn’t feel overwhelming. Here’s how we help you find the care you need quickly.

Tell Us About You

Answer a few questions online about you and what you’re looking for. We’ll match you with providers who are a good match for your needs.

Evaluation

Once you choose a provider, you’ll see them virtually for a thorough discussion of your symptoms, and clinical and medical history. They’ll use that information to make an informed diagnosis.

Personalized Treatment

You’ll work with your provider to tailor a treatment plan that works for you. It can include medications, like mood stabilizers, therapy or a combination of both.

Types of OCD medications

We use an evidence-based approach and focus on what works best for your unique needs. Here’s a brief summary of the most common types of bipolar medications.

SSRIs

Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) help manage OCD symptoms by increasing the availability of serotonin in the brain.

Common medications:

  • Fluoxetine
  • Sertraline
  • Fluvoxamine
  • Paroxetine

Second-line medications

If SSRIs aren’t effective, providers may try second-line treatments. These include clomipramine, a tricyclic antidepressant. Clinicians also note some improvement when using other medications off-label to help alleviate symptoms.

A combination of medications

If a patient is experiencing only partial relief, there are cases where providers employ an “augmentation strategy”, using multiple medications to treat both the primary and residual symptoms.

Why choose online OCD care

Our approach is built around your needs, balancing expertise and convenience.
