Thanks for your advice.
>>>>>>>>No problem.
I also have OCD and panic disorder and generalized anxiety disorder as well as depression so I think my child has inherited it from me.
>>>>>>>>> I'm afraid she has.
What do you think about Luvox or Prozac. I took Luvox for about 3 or 4 years and it did wonders for me.
>>>>>>>>>Luvox and Prozac are other anti-obsessionals of course. Often times a med that works well for one family member will also work well for another family member. Luvox would be a fine choice.
I have read that Prozac can be better for anxiety if there is some attention problems associated with it because the Zoloft can make attention problems worse.
>>>>>>>> There really isn't any way to know exactly how a med will affect somebody until they try it themselves. Many people will have differing responses. Just because one person had a particular response does not mean at all that another person will.
I truly appreciated your advice and I am calling our pediatrician on Tuesday because today (Monday) was a particularly difficult day for my daughter.
I won't go into details but to make is short she thought she swallowed a fly while she was running at my husband's softball game and at dinner she was preoccupied with this and she also says she has trouble swallowing her food and even drinking some water is difficult. I am afraid she is going to lose weight. She is already very thin. She is about 57 pounds and is 54 inches tall.>>>>>>>>She needs to get on one of the anti-ocd meds soon! (I would choose Luvox or Zoloft myself)
This is just a few of the problems she is having. Anyway thanks for your advice and I will take it.
