My daugher is 16 and was diagnosed with OCD when she was in 5th grade. I hate this disorder and would do anything to take it away from her. She was on luvox 1st and stayed on it for years.It was sedating so the dr put her on 80mg of prozac. Oh my God, this was like watching your child turn into a zombie-it was horrible to see and I made them take her off of it. She is on lexapro now with no side effects, except maybe a little drowsiness. She said it helps as much as the others did with the OCD. She's had a moderate response to meds with the OCD. I would like to see new meds specifically targeting OCD. I've never heard of using opiates or narcotics for OCD and I don't think I'd want to see a 16 year on that kind of drug but who knows maybe those will be the miracle drug for OCD. My heart goes out to you all dealing with this. Tiss
