Cashart I am sorry your son is experiencing this. Even if stopping the meds was a trigger, it's not like you were trying to do anything to harm him and you did not know, so try not to blame yourself too much. It definitely sounds like he needs some help and I hope you can get him in to see someone quickly. As others said there is always the ED if it cannot wait or you think he/you are unsafe. Whatever is going on, I do recommend you seek help and be honest with the professionals. There is no way I could say what is causing his symptoms, but intrusive thoughts and obsessive fears surrounding harming others, when I didn't want to, was a main symptom of my OCD in my case. I was never going to do anything harmful, it was just thoughts that I obsessed over and scared me. Of course, there could be other causes, and the professionals should know what to evaluate him for. I hope you can get him help and figure out what's going on. As MM said, I agree you should keep him safe at all times and get rid of things he could actually use to harm himself or others.
