Hi Dian,

That is great to hear your dd is doing so well!! She is keeping busy! Jessie has

cheerleading practice 4 nights a week(till 7:30) and a game on the weekends too.

I think the cheering and the dancing is a little too much sometimes, don't you?

My daughter has vomit thoughts every evening also. I think it's part of the

anxiety of going to bed. My daughter did not have any success with Buspar .

It's funny how a med can work well, than stop working, than if you reintroduce

it, it can work again!! I guess it depends on your body's chemistry at the time.

Both of my dd's are in the teenage mode too. Jessie will be 13 next month and

Brittany is 14 1/2. Brittany keeps her room clean, but Jessie's looks like a

bomb went off in there.  (lol) and the boys!!!!! Another story!!!!!!!!!

Take care Dina

Hugs

Judy

Judy,

Mikayla is doing great. She is still on Prozac, 60 mgs. and was on 30

mgs. of Buspar all last year. I noticed since about April that she was

having a lot of OCD anxiety in the evenings, so the Buspar was just not

helping. In the past, I've taken her off of it (no difference, since it

wasn't working anyway) and then a few months later put her back on and

it works well again. ?? Go figure. So, I took her off at the end of

June and we started back up when school started in Sept. It's working!

No anxiety at night. Which is a God send since she started high school

and is on a dance team 3 nights a week until 8:45. Too much to do to

have vomit thoughts! :-) So, so far, so good.

Now, the whole teenage thing is a whole nother matter.....I catch her

watching tv instead of doing her homework, her room and bathroom are a

complete disaster...just not her usual responsible self. What's up with

that?

Absolutely. Especially when the OCD flares, because then it all becomes

impossible. I try to treat her like any other girl her age, but she

really has limits but doesn't want to feel like she's different. It's hard.

I don't know why evening is worse. Maybe because she's exhausted?

I don't know why that works. I'm grateful it's worked a couple of times

so far, though.

Keep us posted on your son!

Take care,
