Propranolol and sertraline has worked well for me. My symptoms were relatively mild though.

@MrsBungle thank you. Ah I didn’t realise you could take both. My gp has suggested just an ssri so far. Having taken them in the past for other reasons, I’m really worried about the side effects

What kind of OCD do you have?

Which SSRIs have you already tried?
