coming off meds a big mistake

[Guest guest]

I really just need someone to talk to. It's been a while but for anyone who

might remember me, we were weaning my son off of all his meds since last

January. It was up and down but the increased OCD was better than the side

effects up until July. As soon as school got out we started weaning him off of

the second last pill (out of 8 pills). OCD went way over the top. We had

anxiety attacks from morning until night and his whole life became worry. Not

only did he have severe religous scrupulosity but he got severe contamination

fears too. It was tearing all of us apart. We started increasing the meds

again. It was just too much. He wanted to die all the time. It's gotten a

little better but not much. I'm sooo sorry we did this. I'd give anything to

get back where we were before. I thought it was bad then but this is just so

much worse then I knew it could be. Anyway just wanted to vent.
