I don’t have severe OCD but I have PTSD and one of the ways my stress manifested was a hyper vigilance to what I ingested. This caused me to brush my teeth excessively or my tongue until it bled. And sometimes I still get panic attacks after I eat or think I get something in my mouth like face wash or something. Medication was extremely difficult for me as well. But I’ve been on it approximately 3 months and I’m glad I worked through my fear
