[quote=Anonymous]I am very sorry you are dealing with this. I want to emphasize figuring our a medication. This will take far more of your time than seems reasonable or fair. I would recommend starting a journal ASAP. Daily, even hourly, if needed, when things are particularly bad. You can use this to chart progress and set backs. You can also see trends (and possibly triggers - for my kid, the OCD is much worse (and meds barely work) if sick with a cold). As to medication, we worked with a doctor for years and tried so many SSRI and SNRI meds trying to target OCD. (We had to set aside the ADHD treatment.) It was so so so hard. Some would work a small bit, others had side effects that were intolerable. Eventually, we lucked out with trying Anafranil. This is not typically a first line OCD med for children. I will tell you it has saved us. I don't take any day for granted. We could be back where you are in a minute. Please hang in there.[/quote]
