In reply to Intrusive OCD thoughts?, posted by BRC on June 28, 2009, at 11:53:08
My 17 yr old son was recently hospitalized for Psychosis NOS. His symptoms did not seem to fit totally with schizophrenia. I asked if it could be obsessive thoughts rather than hallucinations and voices. I have observed him like this for a long time and wondered about OCD thoughts, not really knowing that this diagnosis existed. The doctors did not think much of my position. On the day of discharge, they offered me that very same possible diagnosis. I was floored. They wasted almost 6 weeks without really exploring the possibility. Now he is at home suffering from OCD thoughts with only Clozaril as a medication. They offered a trial of Zofran (brand name) or Ondansetron on the day of discharge. Can anyone tell me what they think about this and the suggested medicine? Thank you.
