You should be on Luvox. And possibly Buspar.*
St00pid to treat depression in someone with OCD without treating the OCD first.
NEVER GO TO A GP FOR A PSYCHIATRIC DIAGNOSIS. That's like going to a guy who does body repair to get your engine fixed.
By the way, Fluoxetine is *not* serotonin. It's a reuptake inhibitor. It's not that you're not "tolerating" serotonin, it's that chances are, you don't have a big problem modulating serotonin production in the first place. It's also generic, and sometimes they have worse side-effects than the brand name.
I'm surprised s/he didn't start with Pristiq if s/he was going to treat depression in someone with OCD, ffs. Though I don't know if that's available other places.
Anyway, I can't take them either, because they cause mania in people with bipolar disorder (unless you take an anti-psychotic with them).
*Even I can tell from your post that your primary symptom is anxiety, not depression...
