My adult son with Aspergers is severely OCD. He is currently taking Escitolipram and it is not helping. Any suggestions would be great!

I will have to check that out, I am not familiar with it. Nick has always had OCD but it is much more severe now than it used to be. Thanks!

My grandson has some mild OCD traits, but once he became suddenly and very severely OCD. It turned out to be PANDAS and antibiotics got rid of it...see the book Saving Sammy if your son had a sudden onset.

my son takes prozac for the OCD and hf autism. He is 16. The prozac is the first thing we have found that helps the OCD. Good luck to you.
