Guest guest Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 200mgs of Luvox & 1 year of weekly in-home therapy That is what is seems to take to keep my 15 year old son on a normal radar track. Sure he still does his little rituals, no - he can't sleep or study in his room. no- he can't brush his own teeth (but he does put the toothpaste on the toothbrush now), but he CAN now open his school textbooks (kind of hard to succeed in school when you can't - not the best freshman year ever but sophmore year is definitely better), he CAN get his own socks and underwear out of the drawer, he CAN invite friends to sleep over and stay at their homes as well, he CAN enter the gym doorway in a regular fashion and most importantly he feels like he has a much better handle on the whole thing. I know that the OCD is not going to disappear and I have gotten used to the strange nuances that seem to come with it. I can only hope that through drugs and therapy that I can find a way for him to cope successfully. I am feeling the victory dance of progress coming upon me! I am hoping that we continue to see improvement. His confidence is way up - you can even see it on the basketball court; he is now the star player on the team. Last year he barely would take a shot.
