Guest guest Posted November 5, 2001 Report Share Posted November 5, 2001 Hi everyone, My 4-year-old son has a REALLY bad problem with stimming-mostly toe walking, some arm flapping, constant vocal stimming and some nail biting/putting fingers in mouth. These behaviors have gotten so bad that they are really interefering with his ABA program. I would really appreciate it if someone could share their experiences with me regarding interventions that you have tried that have controlled/eliminated stimming. He was on Prozac for 2 months last spring and I really did not see any improvements from it. He has been on tryptophan as well and I also did not see any real improvements from it. I think of stimming as an OCD behavior-am I wrong? If it is OCD then is there an SSRI or some other medication that is especially effective for OCD? I am really desperate and willing to try anything at this point. Thanks, --------------------------------- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
