Hi,

DS is 6.5 years old, PDD-NOS, and on a ritalin patch. It's been pretty good, universally seen as helping with his ADHD tendancies.

Now I am thinking of adding Prozac. His perseveration has gone OFF THE CHARTS and there's some anxiety, too. The fact that he's home for break is making it very clear to me.

The dev. ped. responded to my email that they often use the two together with success. I guess I'm just wondering what your experience has been?

Thanks,
Cathy

Cathy,


This is outside of my area of experience. The board has been very slow of late, but please stick around, and hopefully someone will chime in.
