13 yr old son night time problems

[Guest guest]

Why is night time sooo hard? My son is up for hours fixing drawers and toching

doors...etc. We had to lower the Anafalin because 50MG was making him

depressed...Has this ever happened to any of your kiddos?

Hi there,

At night they have no distraction from the OCD and anxiety, so it can just take

over. Often they have a " routine " /rituals they " must " do before they can sleep.

Our son got more depressed with prozak. Celexa works better for him. Each

anti-depressant acts differently in each person. How long has your son been on

the anafranil? Was he depressed before he started taking it, or did you notice

a distinct difference after he started the anafranil? Were other medications

tried before they decided on anafranil?

Warmly,

Nighttime was hard for us. After school was hard, like they let it out as soon

as safely home. Bedtime also. Does he have the same routine each night? Is

it the same order each night?
