Guest guest Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 Does anyone have a child who has or is taking celexa for their ocd? If so, could you please tell me if it has helped. My daughter's psychologist will be talking to her family doctor about switching her from zoloft to celexa. Thanks, Di Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 4, 2011 Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 My son took Celexa in 9-10th grades (he's 22 now). It was great for him. He ended up on 50mg. Had some benefit at 40mg, but 50 was better. No greater benefit when we tried 60, so settled at 50mg. It's the only SSRI we tried. But then these meds are so individual, what helps one person could affect another with more side effects or something, so just have to try and see. He did have some tiredness from it, began to nap after school. At least I figured the Celexa caused that, some other users felt it did, but with starting the teen years, the sleep pattern changes anyway! > > Does anyone have a child who has or is taking celexa for their ocd?
