I suffer from OCD since the year 1998 when i was just 16 years old though didnt know about it then. i'm taking following medicines since june 2005 :

I do hope someone informed you that in order to reach the doctor's colum, you need to look to the right of your computer screen and it will distinguish which ones are answered by a doctor.
