[QUOTE="Ephchap, post: 24858, member: 27"] Christine, My son was diagnosis'd with ADHD at a young age and put on ritalin. When he hit 13, he began to exhibit different behavior, and was then diagnosis'd with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) as well. They took him off all medications and began giving him prozac, increasing it by 10 or 20 milligrams each time until it reached 80, which is the recommended dose for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) behavior. Each time they tried to add back a little ritalin, even as low as 5-10 milligrams, his Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) tendencies came back full-force. They finally had to take him off the ritalin all together. Instead, they ended up giving him wellbutrin, which helped a bit control the impulsiveness of his ADHD, but not bring back the Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) stuff. I don't know if Tourettes works similarly or not, but thought I would share that, as the tics seem to be pretty similar to the obsessions of the Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). Good luck at the appointment. Sending good thoughts to difficult child. Hugs, Deb [/QUOTE]
