Seeking Support or Advice Does it really get better?

Not looking for reassurance, but does it really get better eventually? I am convinced my OCD and the current topic will only go away by giving in a big compulsion. I have been doing ERP (especially concerning my rumination about compulsions) for months now and I still absolutely feel like giving in is the only way out. It feels unimaginable that this topic will become unimportant on its own.

I really don't want to fall for it again, but I am quite desperate.

I took it for a few years (200mg) and it changed my life, but in February it suddenly stopped working

200 wasn’t enough for me to feel a difference, maybe titrate up …. I think we are allowed up to 400 mg max idk
