[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here with a small update: Thank you all for your replies. (I just noticed with amusement that I type cod instead of ocd in the title.) DD started on a low dose of medication, and we are cautiously optimistic. It's as though the layer of anxiety and ocd has been peeled away and we are seeing the actual child underneath. [/quote] So glad to hear that you made the leap. My 10 year old HFA son suffers from severe anxiety and OCD and after three weeks on a very low dose SSRI he has gotten his life back. The change was that drastic. However, we spent several months trying three other antidepressants, none of which worked. Sometimes it just takes some trial and error, but once you land on the right med at the right dosage, the results can e life changing. My only regret is that we didn't do it sooner. Best of luck to you.[/quote]
