Re: OCD and ADHD

[Guest guest]

I have to say that posts like these show what a benefit belonging to this list

can be. Who better to get such advice from than other parents of children with

similar experiences?!

OCD and ADHD

> Hi,

>

> I was wondering if anyone has had a good outcome in treating OCD and ADHD? My

son is 8 years old with OCD. He is taking 12grams of inositol which was

recommended by his Psychiatrist. He still has some OCD intrusive thoughts but I

would say is 90% better and is happy again. He also has ADHD. We have tried CBT

for this. We are now at a point where we want to try medication. His

Pediatrician is starting him on 5mg of Adderall XR for 2 weeks then increase to

10mg. I have read so many posts of how adderall can make his OCD thoughts

return. I was wondering if anyone has had good luck treating both? Please give

me some good news!!
