Guest guest Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 My son started to show signs of ocd mid september. Actually, just the obsessive thoughts part. Within a week he was on 5mg of prozac and antibiotics because he an elevated titer although tested negative for strep with the throat test. After 2 weeks he got better. Then about ten days ago he had the flu shoot and his symptoms immediately returned. Actually, he started to show ocd symptoms 2 hours after the flu shot. His prozac was then gradually increased to 15mg and the psychiatrist but him back on antibiotics for 5 days and he got better. We went to see Dr. B in Connecticut this week and he said sounds like pandas and that we should have never given him the flu shot. However, he has asthma so I have always given it to him. Anyway, Dr. B said to put him on antibiotics for a month, which I have started. So, yesterday he went to the psychologist that he has been seeing and she said she has never seen ocd present this way and she said that he nowhe has no symptoms and she is not sure if classic cbt is the way to go. In the mean time my husband wants a second opinion so I contacted the Mt Siani ocd center of excellence. However, it is 2000 for an evaluation and he shows no symptoms of ocd now. Since the ocd might return should I go anyway. Not sure what to do. Also, curious has anyone been to Dr. B and he has told you that your child does not have Pandas.
