SID and SSRI's

[Guest guest]

Thanks, . I've wondered whether he might need an increase in Celexa--I

should call his doctor and ask. I guess I've been hoping it would get

better without increasing meds. Actually, it has been getting better the

past few days, so I think I'll just sit tight awhile longer before trying an

increase. He's already taking 80mg Celexa.

Oh, he was able to wear an " uncomfortable " shirt for 2 hours tonight. So I

suggested he wear a different one tomorrow--he admitted it really was not

uncomfortable to wear. And tonight he actually wore pajamas. I think

specifically bringing it to his attention as an OCD issue has been

helpful--he doesn't want to let OCD get control.

SID and SSRI's

Hi Judy, My 8 yr. old son has AD/HD, OCD and some SID symptoms. Back

before he started SSRI " S getting ready in the morning was my worst nightmare

because of clothing issues, most especially socks and shoes. Periodically,

these " itchy " feelings would return along with a major waxing of his OCD

symptoms. Over time, it became clear that a pattern was emerging, and once

he would start to have life interfering SID symptoms, I had better get in

contact with the Dr. quickly or things would definitely begin to fall apart

rapidly. We are currently up to 55mgs. of Prozac, adding in the latest

10mg. (and backing down 5 because of BSE's) in November. Is it possible that

Dan might need a small increase of Celexa? in Southeastern PA
