Re: could the tantrums/outbursts be oppositional defian...

[Guest guest]

Cheryl: Do you think she could have any anxiety? My daughter is four and

had does not have apraxia, but she kind of went through what you are

describing. Our developmental Pediatrician put her on a low dose of Paxil and

she

is a different child. Our Dr's words were she is very anxious and she does

not want to be this way or act this way she just cannot help it. Both my

Dad and I have OCD and sometimes it is in the genes. While we have to be

very careful with these meds, they can sometimes be a blessing. E mail me

anytime. Jen

yes,Jen I do think she has anxiety, and you mentioned ocd, which when she goes

into a behavior unbalance like this she also has ocd behaviors-like having to

touch some things, or licking the tip of her finger,which looks like a nervous

habit--but only when she is " reved up like this. It is more than just anxiety I

think.Does your daughter have to take the paxil for a long time, or is it

something rfelatively short term ,like 6 months, for her body to " Unwind " and

adjust? Thanks for the input. Cheryl
