Hi. My darling girl (8) has just taken her second dose of fluoxetine for ?ocd? repetitive, ritual behaviour from what we think is underlying tactile defensiveness and her perfection/ highly sensitive temperament. She has high IQ and diagnosed ASD but some of our therapists don't agree with the diagnosis. She is generally a smart, happy, high functioning person but... She gets very stuck for a significant portion of the day on parting her hair, dressing and showering. It is horrible for her and… read more

My 11 yr old daughter is severe and obsessed with car rides. She is constantly wanting to go on them and driving my husband and I nuts. We typically go on 4-5 daily. Each ride has to be a certain route and it has to be around 35 mins. If she doesn't get to go on one, she has horrific meltdowns. It's so expensive on gas, as well as wear and tear on our vehicles. Besides that, winter is coming and there's no way we want to continue driving her like this in the bad weather. We have a behavioral… read more

My son's Doctor prescribed for him, Prozac (1 tsp/night) to make him tired and sleep through the night (sleep disorder). It would also calm him during the day. What do you know about giving a 5 year old Prozac?

My son is 19 years old. He has been diagnosed with Asperger's and Social Anxiety Disorder. From your personal experience, what medications worked the best? I was thinking maybe Xanax for anxiety and maybe Prozac?

So ive noticed that everything i do my son will go behind me and redo it his way. Everything i do thats not his way annoys him so bad and he’s fussy about it not being his way. I can close the cabinet and he’ll stop whatever he’s doin to come open and close it again but he’s so angry about it. Is this Ocd? Its getting worse as he gets older. Any tips?

Would anyone be willing to share their experiences with using prozac for anxiety with their autistic child. My son is 9 and moderately functional, verbal, but has a great deal of anxiety about going to school. Or separating from us (his parents) for activities.

My 8 year old, who has beend diagnosed with PDD-NOW, is on Prozac for anxiety. She started on the lowest dose a month ago. We noticed no change in her behavior, except that she was more irritable. Last week, we upped the dose. She seems even more irritable and today screamed, I'm going to kill myself. I'm not sure that it was a serious threat and maybe just was the worst thing she could think of to scream to show her displeasure. I'm wondering if other children on Prozac have become… read more

My 13 year old has PDD,nos. He was put on Prozac (generic) about 2 months ago. He has been taking it for anxiety which has cleared up. In the meantime he is regressing in other ways. He fights everything we ask, becoming more disrespectful, more childish, very hyper especially at night. He seems to be getting worst and worst where we don't even want to be with him because we don't know what to expect. Has anyone else experienced this with their child? Help! I honestly don't know what to do… read more
