 I agree with honeypie, you really should look in to CBT. There are sure to be plenty of therapists that specialize in this area and will help you learn to control your OCD. It won't be easy but it will be better than feeling like you are drugged up or taking pills that don't work.

 CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) is what you should look into.
Meds might work in tandem with that, for some the meds don't help much. No two people have the same reaction to psychotropics. However, working with CBT you can get the tools to learn to take control of your thoughts. It can be highly effective, but I would suggest you find a therapist who specialize in CBT.
As for natural remedies? I don't know. You could do some reading up on CBT and see what you can learn from that.
