Honestly I used to feel more comfortable with Luvox, it causes me low libido issues but Briltellix does as well and Luvox used to keep me relaxed and felt much better.
I have let my doctor know all this and he insisted than I should keep on Brilntellix because it's a much better and newer medication than Luvox, whatever this means for my OCD.
What do you suggest me to do?

Thank you very much for your kind help.
I think that you should push for the med that felt the most comfortable for you!
