[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 391318, member: 1550"] If your child says he feels bad on it, believe him. Whether you feel they are helping him or not, he is feeling worse on them and that will add to meltdowns. I've been on many medications that plain out made me feel worse. Being an adult, I just discontinued until I found medications that not only worked, but didn't give me horrible side effects. Having said that, any child diagnosed with anxiety and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) in my opinion should see a neuropsychologist for possible autistic spectrum disorder, high functioning, since those two symptoms are HUGE with kids on the spectrum. Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kids need everything to always be the same way or t hey lose it...it is not ODD or disobedience, although it looks like that. How was his early development? And how does he relate now to his SAME AGE peers? Does he not understand how to hold a give and talk conversation on a wide variety of topics? Does he obsess over a few narrow topics and bore everyone? Is his speech like a Little Professor with big words? Or was he speech delayed? Any sensitivites to loud noise, food or material textures, big crowds, new people (shyness), change of routine? Can he transition well from one activity to another or does that cause a meltdown? I would look beyond Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)/anxiety. Sounds too vague. JMO. Take care :) [/QUOTE]
