Guest guest Posted June 19, 2006 Report Posted June 19, 2006 Hi everyone, My son's doc reduced his zoloft from 50mg to 37.5mg today. He also had his ekg done. I must say today was better than the last 2. I spent several hours reading some old posts here and took some advice that seemed to have worked... at first I thought it sounded a bit crazy but it worked. It had to do with his obsession about not being able to go to the bathroom.. he woke up and like clockwork it started.. my response was, " yep, I think you're right, you'll probably won't go for about a year and you'll start to get huge, I mean big as the house and then one day you will just POP, and poo will cover the entire United states. " He just looked at me as I told this story in amazement... sat on the toilet and went. I then said " what? does this mean you won't blow up one day? Gee, I was looking forward to that " ... He laughed, I laughed, and he didn't mention it again once.. Now we have another he started around 8 pm.. says he feels something on his left bottom cheek but not on the right... his next question was is this a disease? It feels hard like a rock.. My answer, " Oh my, I think we should go to the ER right now and have an x ray! What if a big rock got stuck in there? " That ended that one, at least for now.. His biggest obsession, the one that causes him the most anxiety is his fear of me getting into a car accident when I leave. Tonight I left for about an hour and he had a small meltdown when I left, called me 4 times when I was gone, and made me tell my husband that I would call if I got into an accident, at least 3 times. Hopefully his therapy session on wed will help. I just can't seem to joke about that one yet! This zoloft is keeping him up way to late...he finally fell asleep around midnight! I forgot to tell the doc that one! Thanks for *listening*, I don't talk to my family about this that much because they don't believe he has ocd.. just going through a phase! Lauri Quote

Guest guest Posted June 20, 2006 Report Posted June 20, 2006 Hi Judy, I do give it to him in the am.. 37.5mg 2nd day and he is still wide awake it is 10:40pm. He still has his " bad " behavior moments later in the day.. I just don't know if that is from the meds or what. I'm not sure to punish him for what he does either...he'll ask a question that he knows the answer is no and then go into a real fit, trying to throw things say words that are unacceptable in our house, call me stupid idiot...luckily for us he hasn't been exposed to real swear words because if he knew them he would throw them out..he tries to say the worst things he knows and even tries to bite me still! If I can get him distracted with something " big " I can change his behavior but it comes back a couple more times before he ends up in bed... he also has become bossy telling me what to do and telling me NO when I tell him to do something.. if he did this 2 months ago it would have been a big time out, and now I just look at him and wonder what to do.. Hugs back to you, Lauri -- In , jchabot <jchabot@...> wrote: > > Lauri, > Do you give him the zoloft in the morning?
