Guest guest Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 Well, our seven year old finally made it to school today although it took almost 2 hours of my lurking around where he could see me until I made the break. His teacher has been amazing and I was hoping that this medication would be a " miracle " drug and while he is sleeping better, the anxiety/OCD-related behaviours are still very present. He has separation anxiety to such an extreme degree and follows me all over the house, yet apologizes for doing it at the same time. Poor kid. On the one hand, I keep empowering him to fight the temptation to " give-in " but he is absolutely exhausted, undernourished, etc. We will meet with his pdoc next week as well as his therapist for CBT but I'm wondering if any of you know how appropriate it might be to start an SSRI on top of this antipsychotic, Abilify. The doc was hoping this was all he would need to make OCD's voice a bit quieter but so far who knows? I'm feeling defeated again, like many of you because I'm losing my kid little by little. Each day seems to bring a new challenge. in AZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
