Follow-up.. Another medication question.

So I was wondering something.  Sorry to be posting another question.  I have been on 20 MG of fluoxetine for 3 weeks.  (As I said).  I was feeling a little better.. my ocd symptoms were still severe but I could relax and my body felt a little less tense.  Then, 3 days ago, it got really bad again.  

Would an increased dosage help out? Or does this mean this drug is not going to work?  I feel like it started to, and then just stopped.

Also, would you say my eating disorder (afraid to eat due to vomiting) would be an ocd thing?  I know that when I have to eat I get racing thoughts and work myself up into a panic and feel nauseous, and I am very scared after I eat until I feel a rumbling hunger again.  Does this sound like an OCD thing?  Could the medicine help my thoughts and stomach anxiety so I can eat again in the long run do you think?  

Once again, thank you for your time.  Any suggestions on how I can calm my thoughts so I can eat without feeling sick and having panic attacks while I wait for medicatino to work?  I cannot go anywhere for phsycotherapy at this moment because I am home bound due to severe anxiety.

Yes, you can ask your doctor about increasing you dose in order to decrease your anxiety, or adding klonopin as a second medication to speed that up...the more you decrease your anxiety response, the sooner the panic and ocd will come under control.
