Guest guest Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 Hi All, I wanted to first say a HUGE thank you for this group. It is so nice to know others are living through the same things we are, I have felt very alone in this. We have 4 kids ages 8,7,3, and 2 and we homeschool. My 8 y.o. daughter, Lucy, was diagnosed with OCD (contamination and moral issues), Separation Anxiety and Social Anxiety Disorders 1 1/2 years ago. We were overseas at the time and had NO help so we moved back to the states 3 months ago to tackle the OCD monster. We have been in therapy for 3 months, and the therpist and ourselves both agreed it is time for meds. Life has come to a halt in many ways, so I am excited about our appt. Tuesday with the psychiatrist. Our therapist (whom I really like, as does Lucy) said Lucy would only need 6 more sessions or so!??? I thought that was strange, but haven't questioned her on it as we are taking a little break while getting the meds started. " Normally " , I would think therapy would continue for awhile after meds started, am I wrong? I hate to find a new therapist, this one is trained in CBT, though Lucy is not even close to being ready for any exposure or CBT. Also, tantrums are already such an issue, anyone think Zoloft would be preferable over Prozac (that seems to trigger more tantrums...?)I know that's a hard thing to give advice on, it so personal, just wondering. Thank you! Amy in No.VA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
