[QUOTE="barneysmom, post: 379510, member: 1872"] Jena glad you posted I was worried about you guys. You should be on safer ground now that your daughter got some IV hydration. She might feel better too, and better able to tolerate 1/2 dose of the Remeron with more circulating blood volume, even if she wasn't officially dehydrated. I think you got good advice about not mentioning eating -- it's not working anyway. Actually your daughter has *more* control (of her anxiety/Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) issues) if she can resist everyone's suggestions to eat. It's a solid, concrete pressure that she can concretely push back against. Restricting can provide a (falsely) reassuring focus in the ambivalent, frightening world of an anxious, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) kid. All or nothing. Nothing is definitely easier. Just thinking back to my own experiences -- gfg13 restricted for awhile and we had several trips to the ER over time. It was a stressful time for him (PTSD following many years of crises) and I remember he felt so powerful, almost giddy, when he refused to eat. What started it off was, he had some sores on his tongue and roof of his mouth after a temp of 104 (another trip to ER as I thought he was going to seize) and he is so sensitive to pain (in some ways) that he would not eat. Then he kind of got to like it that way. He was skeletal. Had lots of therapy and gradually began to eat again. We tried Remeron but it made him manic (just our experience -- wish we could have used it -- I was so bummed). Jo P.S.
