[quote=Anonymous]I was in the original study for OCD at NIH in the early 90s. I started on the Prozac and within a week I felt such relief from symptoms. I am not clear of them still, but now I can handle it. My daughter started with OCD in 4th grade and I immediately got her on Prozac and she improved quickly with a year of therapy. She is now in college and off the Prozac. Prozac stopped working for me after many years, and I have been on others. The last one was Zoloft, and it took some of the edge off, but really didn't work for my OCD. I stuck with it for a year and finally went back to Lexapro, which works well. I have worked with many students with anxiety and OCD who take Zoloft, and I have never felt that it worked well for them, although of course I am not allowed to give that kind of feedback to parents since I am not a doctor. I would put your child on Prozac in a heartbeat. Don't let the OCD thinking and behaviors get entrenched. Good luck. [/quote]
