Quick Answer

Most patients notice some improvement at 4 to 6 weeks on medication, with fuller response at 8 to 12 weeks once we've reached the right dose. ERP therapy typically runs 12 to 20 sessions. OCD is usually a long-term condition, so once you're doing well, we keep you on medication for at least a year before considering any change.
