Guest guest Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 Hi , welcome! The constant confessions, questions, a lot of parents here have dealt with (or still dealing with). Only a moment now, but the disinhibition - a medication can cause that to happen, can you recall it started after Zoloft? If so, another SSRI may work better or a decrease in dose might be tried to see if that gets better.

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 - it is so challenging to work around this OCD and its bullying. I look forward to putting her on meds so I can get we back. I take deep breathes and step out and let my husband step in when I can't handle it anymore. Has the Zoloft made a big difference?

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 My son was diagnosed at age 3, and started CBT/ERP then. He is currently 15. He had many rituals and compulsions including reassurance seeking. He also began on Zoloft at age 8 which did cause increased impulsiveness in him. He seems to do okay if we stay under 50 mg, but becomes dramatically more impulsive bordering on sociopathic when we go over 50 mg. The trick is weighing medication benefits with side effects and finding the proper dose and medication which can be quite trying. Regarding the reassurance seeking, it is quite easy to treat with CPT/ERP. If you are working with a therapist who specializes in this, I am sure they will have many ideas on ways to treat it. However talking about treating it and talking about beating it will do nothing to help bring it under control. It actually need to do the exposures with response prevention in order for it to be valuable. From reading further in this topic stream it seems like your therapist is primarily discussing the need to beat the OCD, but is not giving you exposures to do on a daily basis at home. it is a long road, however with good treatment, and a lot of support, thinks can improve dramatically.

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 I just think I would take the impulsiveness over the anger these rituals cause. The therapist is teaching her tools before doing the exposures. Does that sound right?

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 AGREE!! Exposures worked very well. For whatever reason (maybe the ADD), he couldn't do the talking back, worksheets, journals, etc.). He was able to get rid of the majority of rituals with the exposure therapy.

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 I resisted medication the first year and a half but by then my ds12 was scratching his arms till they bled, digging holes in his hand till it bled and the absolutely last straw is when he ran away and we could not find him but a police man turned up at the door w/him.   So he is on meds and I am glad I tried to go the non med route and glad we threw in the towel when it was appropriate.............................Larkellen  Estate and Garage Sales Facebook Page www.estateandgaragesales.biz ________________________________ To: " " < > Cc: " " < > Sent: Monday, March 12, 2012 7:54 PM Subject: Re: Re: 9 year old with OCD At what point did you as parents decide medication for your child with OCD, with no other diagnosis?

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 I started to put my daughter on medication in 2nd grade because she was so afraid of so many things and it was both affecting her socially, affecting her happiness, but most of all affecting her willingness to eat so many things. It wasn't until 4th grade after trying several different medications and therapists, that we hit real success. For my daughter, Anafranil was the right medication, it changed her distorted thinking about what was scary and stopped her compulsive hair pulling. She has been so different since then, including having a long beautiful head of hair.

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 For me, it was when Jake could no longer function in school because of anxiety. He also began hoarding at this same time. I think you will know if it gets to a point that the risks no longer outweigh the benefits. Its a tough call when it comes to our kids. Jake has been on Prozac for one month now and is finally showing improvement. I believe we made the right decision. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 My daughter who will be 13 tomorrow exhibits these symptoms. She has a little bit of it all. She has the scrupulosity OCD where sometimes she thinks she isn't saved or hates God, but then she confesses it to me. She will also confess little things she did months ago that don't even matter. In addition to this, she also has some contamination issues and is a hand-washer. She doesn't like people to sit on her bed. She has " bad thoughts " that are mostly sexually-related. Has fears of " people having babies " . But most recently, I have also noticed the disinhibition. I wasn't sure if its a part of the OCD or it is her age or if she is so frustrated with all of this that its her only way of getting it out. But she has definitely been talking back much more lately and just being rude when she has always been a very sweet good-natured child. I am not sure what to tell you to do, because we are in the thick of it ourselves. She also has ADHD so we have struggled with balancing medications. Right now, she is trying Straterra and Vyvanse without an SSRI. But she just started it last week so it is too hard to tell right now what effect it is going to have. I know this isn't helpful, but I just wanted to let you know you aren't alone. > > > > > > > > Hi everyone, > > > > > > > > I am very new to this site and have not read much in it yet.
