Guest guest Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 Sounds like a good plan Bonnie. I know some things you've said before had me thinking autism spectrum but can't recall if he actually had that dx or if it was to be ruled out, etc. Cross fingers for the med combo to work wonders!! > > Saw our doctor today. He thinks that has OCD and a mood disorder and that he is somewhere on the autistic spectrum. Now that his moods are somewhat stabilized, he is going to start a very low dose of Prozac and Buspar. Our past history with Prozac was initially good, then bad (in the spring when his mood destabilized?). He said that Buspar treats the anxiety without destabilizing mood and that it lessesns irritability - it also affects the release of oxytocin which has been shown to improve social functioning - both social anxiety and even social interpretation. It'll be interesting to see results. > > He said that once is functioning better, we'll try to get rid of some of his other meds. He said he has 2 clients who went to recently and are doing well. He thinks it's worthwhile for us to look into it because the kids learn so much about coping and refocusing, ect.... > > Poor Matt is so anxious and obsessive. > > To be continued..... > > Bonnie > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
