[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 43419, member: 2423"] My easy child has non-stop obsessions (mostly about buying something she wants NOW or having a playdate NOW, especially when it's 9 pm, and the stores are all closed or there's no chance in heck a parent would let a child come over). In easy child's case, we've decided it's part of her anxiety disorder (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) tendencies) or part of depression (the need for instant gratification to make herself feel better). The only people who can judge whether the medications are contributing to the problem are you and the docs. If the obsessions are worse, it could be Strattera. If the obsessions are the same, it may be the medications aren't right or at a therapeutic dose. For what it's worth, we are finding that Prozac is a helpful medication for this issue. We're still titrating up, and the obsessions seem more in control now. Prozac is approved for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) in children. [/QUOTE]
