What can cause recurring severe paranoia and nightmares in an former PTSD patient of past events?
human
When i was 7 years old i was run over by a bus, i developed ptsd after the event but it never really bothered me. I am now 18 years old and within the past year the symptoms are becoming extremely strong. I experience flash backs, severe paranoia and nightmares. Is there any reason why it has increased so much as of late? And is there anything i can do to stop it?

HelloThese are symptoms which you have to discuss with your psychiatrist as some symptoms need clarifications However to such a patient I would put on small dose of say drug generic name Olenzapine 2.5 mg bd .11years on bus accident and ptsd may not be cause for your current symptoms .In my patient I would have not associated ptsd with present status it is more like a condition called paranoid status or paranoia and a  psychistrist can give you nice and beneficial treatment get well soonDr Lal Psychiatrist
