Re: Help? Grades/Anger/Frustration and Depression

Hi

Yes, he's been on Celexa now for about 5 weeks.

He's better as far as the "ole Scrupe",,,,,but rituals are worse. He seems to be handling it better.....and when I say "better", it's because he's not bawling about it all the time like he was.

Ick.

I finally let him type everything starting this last weekend. I don't care, anymore. It seemed to help a bit.

Ya know,,,,,,,,,me writing his math would definitely help. He could just tell me what he wants written. I may do this.......

Did I say I don't care anymore?

he he.

Thanks for the thoughts, Chris.

Regarding the OCD and school -- I hate to suggest this but it's what I had to do for my son when OCD was affecting his being able to do work for school (read, write...) -- I wrote his work for him, even his math. He dictated, told me answers, etc. I know we recently had some posts (you & me) discussing OCD, but can't recall -- is he on medication for it??Sorry the private school isn't being supportive!>> Isn't it crazy?> I'm so done....I feel like bawling.> Ian's been dealing with OCD lately. Bad. Rituals..... ..thoughts. .....ugh.__________________________________________________

Robin, for with Celexa - if I recall right - he was on at least 40mg,

maybe 50mg....been a while since he was on it. But it kicked in much better at

about 4 months; improvement before that, but more noticeable beginning around

then. Hope it works well for your son!
