Lorazepam can help to control anxiety but for OCD symptoms,as one option, you can add Anafranil
to it. If you're interested,here is some information on it:Clomipramine ( Anafranil ) an antidepressant from the heterocyclic antidepressants family of drugs. This drug is used mainly in the treatment of OCD ( obsessive-compulsive disorder ) but is also used to relief symptoms of arm burning, endogenous depression, hair pulling syndromes, nail biting, panic attacks, phobias, or PMS. It is used in the treatment of narcolepsy and to relieve the pain of arthritis, cancer, diabetic disease, herpeslesions, migraines, tension headaches, or tic douloureux. It may also help decrease the repetitive symptoms in autistic persons.
Never distrust yourself-

You might easily be having some amount of withdrawal, depending on how long you were on 3x/day and how often you take it now.
Good luck. i hope you feel better.
