[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OCD developed overnight in my 4th grader. After many months of therapy and watching her suffer—it is truly suffering we tried a low dose of Prozac. It made all the difference. Her mind quieted a bit and she was able to implement the strategies she was learning in the CBT therapy sessions. It broke my heart when she finally felt better and asked us why we waited so long to use the medication. She is now in 8th grade and doing well. We will see about weaning off the Prozac once she has gone through the big changes of early adolescence I also worried and fretted about medicating my young daughter. But once I researched and realized that she would likely struggle with this condition her whole life, and it is just a piece of her like everything else, it seemed senseless not to give her the best shot at managing it. The medication is a tool. Why wouldn’t you use it?[/quote] If OCD developed overnight, you should look into PANDAS[/quote]
