Guest guest Posted April 19, 1999 Report Share Posted April 19, 1999 Hello everyone, I am new to this list. I have been finding it very helpful. I must admit the volume of mail is a bit overwhelming for me right now. Thank you Kathy for the advice on finding a CBI therapist. Colin is almost 10 yr. old and his ocd symptoms revolved around his room, hoarding, checking and " just so " compulsions. In the past 6- 12 months things have spiraled out of control and he is now having attention problems in school, behavior problems in an after-school program, and has no friends. We have tried counseling and herbal products with no success. I found a Dr. who is in the process of doing a thorough eval. We have the second part next week. He started Colin on 25 mg of Zoloft and then raised it to 50mg. We still have not seen any changes in his ocd behaviors. What is the adult dosage? Colin may have comorbidity. His issues are very complex. Since Colin was a toddler he was " obsessed " with something. First it was Birthdays, then the Wizard of Oz, then gemstones, then New York City, then tornados and currently Star Wars. All he does centers on those themes. He has extremely limited interests beyond the current theme. Since I have been doing a lot of reading about ocd, this is a kind of obsession I'm not seeing anything on. Is this part of ocd or is this something else? I'd appreciate hearing if anyone has a child with similar difficulties. Best wishes to everyone - this is a nice place to be.
