Guest guest Posted September 2, 2006 Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 My son, age 12, started on Zoloft 4 1/2 weeks ago for OCD. I have seen some improvement, but it seems minimal. He is afraid of getting the stomach flu and therefore has been going to school upset and calling me around 10:00 am to pick him up. He does his best when he is at home. When he is out he worries that somebody out there is sick with the stomach flu and he is going to get it. This is causing him GREAT anxiety. He has Ativan for anxiety but I really don't see where it is helping him all that much. He has an appointment Wednesday to see a psychologist. The psychiatrist that I am taking him to said her next move will probably be to start him on Serequel. I do NOT want that. I feel that maybe we should try a switch with the antidepressant or possibly add another one to the mix...I just don't like the idea of Serequel or any other drug in that class. After this much time on Zoloft should we be seeing more improvement in his 'worries' and anxiety?? I'm just SO scared and don't know what move to make next. I would appreciate any advice.
