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.

Brintellix is only a better med for OCD if it is a better med for your OCD.
Sometimes, we have to make trade-offs; sometimes we do not have to make trade-offs. If Luvox works better for your OCD and allows you a sex life, it sounds like a helpful med.
