Guest guest Posted January 1, 2002 Report Share Posted January 1, 2002 Oh yes. The second incompetent psychologist we consulted for my son was engaged to deal with his thumb sucking at age 8, which had distorted the shape of his mouth (he's still in braces at age 16). We finally got him to stop with a reward system, but it would have been easier if he'd been diagnosed then and on medication, I'm sure. JUdy Zoloft and thumbsucking Billie (10) has been sucking her thumb since before she was born. (We know this because she was born with a sucking blister on her lip.) She had almost stopped about a year and a half ago until she began to have a lot of medical problems. With life threatening asthma attacks, etc., her anxiety increased and she went back to thumbsucking with a vengance. Over the past week or so, she has almost completely stopped sucking her thumb. I'm wondering if this has anything to do with her starting Zoloft 3 1/2 weeks ago. Anyone have any thoughts on this? Kathy -- Kathy Mac, LICSW email: macdonald@...
