Any suggestions for OCD?

I'm taking Buspar for anxiety and OCD. My compulsion is freaking out thinking I have diseases. Not fun at all. I'm over running to the doctor to get tested for everything under the sun. Any ideas? I'm driving everyone I know crazy. Please help me!

Unfortunately you have to take it every day to build up a steady state in your system. It usually  takes 4 weeks or so. Until you do this you won't see any benefits and you won't know whether buspar works for you either at the prescribed dose or at all.

To be quite honest, my doctor prescribed it a few months ago and I haven't been taking it every day. Actually I probably only took it consistently for a week....
