I'm sorry your symptoms are coming back. I also have ppd/ocd. I notice my symptoms flare up when I am over stressed and tired. The medications take time. Depending on what kind of OCD you have (obessions vs. compulsions) you may become symptoms free. I have the obessions mainly. Intrusive thoughts. Meds help the intrusive thoughts to become "quieter" and less frequent, but I think I will always have them. My compulsions are almost completely gone with the medications. I hope you feel better soon. Alot of times talking with my therapist and asking for coping techniques with symptoms that are bothering me the most help. There is also something called CBT (cognitive behavoral therapy) is suppose to work well with OCD. Something to ask your doctor about. Hang in there!
