I need advice about my psychiatrist visits & my medication?

OK so I started to see a psychiatrist about 5 months ago for my OCD and anxiety. I am now taking 20 mg of Cipralex daily. But I don't feel as though it is working for my OCD that much. The only reason that I like the medication is b/c there are no side effects, but there is no decrease in my OCD (my OCD is moderate by the way). I feel that my overall anxiety has been helped though, like I feel less tense and haven't been talking anxiety attacks. I only see my psychiatrist once a month, and we do not really do any therapy. Just talk about my medication & such. I haven't seen him in almost 2 months as of now, and I was just wondering if this is normal? Perhaps the meds are not really working because it should really be in conjunction with therapy ??? I'm not sure. Advice please.
