Anti-inflammatory for OCD Symptoms

[NancyD]

Has anyone tested the difference between Motrin, Aleve, and Celebrex in how it works for your child's OCD symptoms? Most everyone mentions Motrin and that is what I give my daughter, but because it has a half life of about 4 hours, a dose only lasts 6-8 hours. I am considering switching to Aleve or Celebrex so I only have to give it to her twice daily. I know Aleve is supposed to have an almost identical chemical structure (I don't know about Celebrex), but I'd love to hear from anyone who has tested it. Thanks!

We saw a difference on ibuprofen and didn't see a difference on Aleve. We can give no explanation for why as both act in remarkably similar ways.

Interesting...thanks Buster. I suspected this and I don't want to switch unless I hear that others are having as much success with the others.
