Zoloft pooping out?

[Guest guest]

My 9 year old son was diagnosed with OCD back in the summer

and has been on 50 mg of Zoloft since September. He responded very

well to it along with therapy but in the last couple of weeks we've

begun seeing some of the OCD behaviors again. He is worrying about

not being able to breathe and taking enormous breaths. He also is

beginning to worry about touching things and he's thinking about the

possibility of choking on food.

These were all things we were dealing with when began taking

Zoloft. It's interesting to see how much calmer he is about the

worries. He's very willing to talk to me about what is bothering him,

how often it happens, etc. without getting agitated.

I'm planning to talk to the p-doc about what to do medication wise,

but I wanted to run it by the group also. Do you think the Zoloft

should be increased? Is this kind of thing common where behaviors

that were under control pop up again?

I'm pretty new to all this so any knowledge you have would be very

helpful.

Thanks,
