Debbie, I'm so glad to hear your dd's doing better! Hopefully the symptoms

will continue to subside. Yours is a perfect example of what some of us here

have heard re: symptoms initially increasing then leveling out.

Unfortunately, my daughter's symptoms not only increased but she also

acquired many, many new obsessions/compulsions that she wasn't contending

with pre-Zoloft.. As I shared with the neuro last night, I actually would

like the girl who couldn't get dressed back and trade in the tapping,

checking, even # loving, multiple times across every threshold, parking lot

line and curb , do everything four times girl that we now know and (still)

love! Best of luck with the exposures and no, I didn't notice increased

empathy with my daughter.. Just much more uninhibited! Kinda funny at times

but def of concern! in NY

, this is my 14-year old DD's 7 weeks on Zoloft, end of second week on

100mg. With each increase, I have seen her symptoms increase, and then

subside by the second week. Last night she didn't ask me ONE SINGLE

REASSURANCE question! That has not happened since the end of August. So far

(knock on wood), I have seen no side effects other than her initial weight

loss. This time, instead of titrating up, I'm going to keep her on the 100

for 3 weeks and see what happens.

The biggest thing she's still hanging on to is fear of tires. She fears the

germs because tires run over dead animals, so she gets in and out of our

cars veeeerrrrry slowly to make sure she or her coat or her backpack doesn't

touch the tire. I tried to do some exposure with her the other night, which

backfired on me bigtime, so I'm letting her do it at her own pace. She knows

she needs to, but doesn't want me " pushing " it on her.

The one thing I've noticed with the Zoloft, is that she seems much more in

tune with other people's feelings. Before, though she didn't have OCD, she

just didn't " get " why someone might be sad or hurt or angry, etc. Now, she

seems much more able to " empathize " . Anyone else had this happen?

Debbie

Kathy and , our son went through that both times with the Celexa.

He almost acted a bit tipsy. The docs told us it is common. Both

times it improved once the meds were in his system for a bit. For us

it was worth the wait. I'm hopeful for you both.
