[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 391319, member: 2423"] Only four medications are FDA-approved for the treatment of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) in children: Anafranil, Prozac, Zoloft and Luvox. However, other SSRI antidressants (like Celexa) are sometimes prescribed for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) if the psychiatrist feels it might work. The interesting thing about Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is that it is an intense anxiety disorder that typically needs to be treated with higher doses than a generalized anxiety disorder would require. On the flip side, there are many children who respond poorly to SSRI antidepressants (including all three of mine). So you do need to be aware of that possibility. [/QUOTE]
