Guest guest Posted November 6, 2011 Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 Does anyone have experience with add on medication for OCD? My 17 yr. old ds has a psychiatrist appt. this week. He wanted to increase his Prozac to 60 mg. from 40mg. but my son could not handle the side effects (tiredness). He wants to discuss the add on but I am concerned about so much medication. Prozac works well for his anxiety/depression. He is also on Adderall XR 30 mg. and Lorazapam (as needed, though hasn't needed Lor. in a long time. He is working with a psychologist, with some success, but still struggles with OCD interfering with eating and doing schoolwork, primarily. Thank you.
