[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 316190, member: 2423"] Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a form of anxiety. First-line treatment of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is SSRI antidepressants. But I'm not sure impulsivity is the first symptom you think of when you think of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). So I do wonder if a new evaluation might be in order. Stimulants might help with impulsivity, but very often make pre-existing anxiety worse. Stimulants can also make teens more angry and irritable. I've heard that Tenex and Clonidine might help with impulsivity. Abilify is an interesting thought. One of our psychiatrists says that Abilify at low doses (1 mg) helps with brighter affect and attention. What kind of doctor evaluated him over the summer? Are you satisfied with the diagnosis?
