Guest guest Posted July 29, 2004 Report Share Posted July 29, 2004 Hello everyone. My name is Ben and I am the 18 year old son of Kim in IA. My brother, , is almost 15 (next month) and has OCD. I was wondering if any of you know if there is a group like this for siblings of people with OCD. Thanx, Ben, also in IA.... new here, med and obtrusive thought question Hi, I am new to all of this and I have a couple of questions, if you don't mind. I am wondering if anyone has kids who are successfully able to go off medication and still control their symptoms. So far, my daughter's Zoloft works great, but for only so long and then it stops. She is up to 150 mg of Zoloft and right now she is good again, but I wonder for how long. She has only been on it 4 1/2 months so far. Also, I am wondering if a kid has obtrusive thoughts would they ever act on them, if the OCD is not being controlled? My daughter was having obtrusive thoughts about wanting to get seriously injured. She said the thought just kept coming into her mind over and over. This has stopped within the last week or so, after her last med increase, but it still worries me. Thank you, I would appreciate any feedback. Kim Our list archives, bookmarks, files, and chat feature may be accessed at: http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group// .
