can ocd return

[Hezzy]

I was treated for ocd about two years ago,and i have noticed a few symptoms are returning.

1 i cant touch anything dirty or i freak out and have to wash it off
2 i wash my hands constantly and have cracks and sores because of it
3 I have to change my cloths every time i come back inside
4 I am petrified of public transport
5 I avoid going outside as much as possible
6 I always get cleaning fits and need to sterlize everything
7 when using the tele i need the volume to land on an even number
8 I need to sort everything i own into catagories

i was wondering if my ocd is coming back or if its just a phase,I am not sure if this matters but i was treated with prozac, I am also still going to my therepist twice a year and my next appointment is two months away, should i wait to tell her or tell my parents.
thanks in advance and please respond :(

Anything mental can ''return''

If you were treated, the effect remains as long as you focus on not following your compulses

If your symptoms are coming back and you're not on your Prozac, tell your folks right away and get to the doctor.

Typically, true OCD is a biochemical imbalance that is managed thru meds, like Prozac. Most often, when the meds stop, the symptoms can return.

Before you have a full blown regression, have the doctor reevaluate you and your symptoms to determine if you should be back on the Prozac.

Yes, they can!
I have had OCD for five years, and mine was I felt like I was going to barf all the time, and I mean the shakes and everything. It was life stopping. I got on Zoloft and it stopped, but I recently went off the medication and it is coming back. Also, I've had that Germ phase, it will go away I promise!
Good Luck!
