Guest guest Posted January 31, 1999 Report Share Posted January 31, 1999 Hi, My name is . I am the mom of Jeff who is 9yrs old and has been diagnosed with OCD sense last May. I also have a 13yr old daughter with Tourettes Syndrome. Both kids were diagnosed last May within 3 weeks of each other. Boy that was a very interresting Spring! Jeffs' main ocd symptom is getting stuck on things. He'll have a thought in his head and cannot let it go. Sometimes this takes forever and it is so hard watching him go through all the long process of being able to move on. He also has a thing about certain textures of clothing. He'll have to wear one soft shirt until I tell him it needs washed, then we go through all of his clothes to get just the right one with the right feel. His symptoms seem to change from one thing to another all the time. Bounce Bounce Bounce Right now we are trying a new drug. He has been on Zoloft, Luvox,and Prozac. Now we are trying Celexa. We are combining BuSpar with it. So far so good! We have had a very stressful and lost time the past 3 weeks as we tried to find a new drug for him. His last one Prozac, had a adverse effect on him and it was really bad, but we are hopeful this will be the one! Well, I am very excited about talking with other parents who know what OCD is like to live with. Sometimes it is very lonely out here and it will be good to have others to share with!!
