Question about medicine

[Guest guest]

I have been holding off because she seems to just snap out of it

after a month or two. My daughter was diagnosed with OCD in May 07.

It started of with the ritual of touching things an even amount of

times and worries that seemed to be from watching and the Giant

Peach. We were in the middle of a move and school was wrapping up

for the year so she was in the middle of some changes. It took us

awhile to figure out what to do with her and who to see. By the end

of July after half a dozen sessions she was back to her normal self.

Without meds. The following March she had a small episode that was

just the obsessive thoughts about vampires. Two sessions then and

she was fine. No symptoms at all. She is 8 now and has been having

a hard time with her worries again. This time about dying or me

dying. We have been to about 6 sessions and she is still having a

hard time. This time it started at the beginning of December when

she overheard me talking to her sister's doctor about a virus going

around town that had to do with some of the children in our community

dying. So it scared her and it has been almost two months. She is

sleeping well and does well in school but when I pick her up she says

she has been worrying 1/2 the day. I just don't know what to do

about medicine. Her symptoms seem very mild and her therapist says

the same, but it hurts so bad to see her struggle. I need opinions

about medicine and how I go about getting them for her.

Thanks.
