Guest guest Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 Hi. I am new to this group and am wondering if anyone can answer some questions. I have a teenage daughter who was diagnosed with OCD about a year ago. She is on fluoxetine. This is the third medication she is on. The first caused her to lose bladder control and with the second she was running low grade fevers every few days.The doctor insisted it was not due to the drug but when we took her off the fevers quit. Now she has joint pains that come and go and lately her bladder has been leaking. Are these side effects of the drugs or do other kids with OCD also have some of these other issues as part of the whole OCD thing? She deals with a lot of headaches and stomach pains too but I think that may just be due to the anxiety. There have been a lot of posts about PANDAS and I am wondering if that is part of this. I can't say the OCD came on overnight but in a month or so of first noticing the excessive handwashing life became a nightmare. Does that sound like a PANDA? Thanks for your input.
