[quote=Anonymous]My ASD 6 year old DS who suffers from lack of focus/ hyperactivity and anxiety is currently taking Guanfacine(Tenex) and we just started Zoloft. He has had the following issues: 1- Focalin increases his anxiety and some OCD repetitive movements. 2- The SSRI's like Prozac ( which we had tried in the past) make his behavior worse. His Psychiatrist explained that in causes disinhibition in some kids. ( oN both Prozac and Zoloft, he has tried to take his clothes off in public. Never happened before.) 3- Guanfacine has really helped with hyperactivity. He really needs help with focus and anxiety, as well as OCD ( it's affecting him socially) Has anyone experienced this? Which meds were finally helpful? Would you recommend a Psychiatrist? Thank you. [/quote]
