Over the last couple of weeks Taz started becoming more & more afraid. He's locking doors, won't go into his room, won't go to the bathroom
unless someone is standing outside of it...need I say more. He was so afraid 2 nights he thought someone was knocking at the door in the early morning. He
came in my room w/an opened Swiss Army knife & the second night same problem, but dd found a steak knife on the counter & asked if he took it out.
Yes.
So he's argumentative now due to the lack of sleep. I think what he was hearing was dh going to work.
His Lamictal was increased a little, but this started before the increase. I've called his pdoc Fri & Mon. still no response. In the meantime I got him into the tdoc last night. She was worried, because she wasn't sure if it was just the OCD or if he was seeing/hearing things. He isn't. He seems a little paranoid & some of the negative thinking is coming back. She wants to see him again to see if she can desensatize him from the fears. She did make progress w/him last night & he was receptive. He drew 3 pics that shows someone trying to get in the house & always something happended to that person that made them go away. He's hanging one in the bathroom, one in his bedroom & one on the front door. I hope this works.
Do you have kids w/OCD & the compulsions seem to be under control & after a while the seem to become a problem again? Any advice?
