What Causes Noctambulism While On Paxil?

My 14yr.old granddaughter has been having sleepwalking episodes. My son found her locked in one of their bathrooms early this morning. She had a knife and was unresponsive. She had no memory of that event or any previous events. My son and daughter-in-law fear she may have multiple personality disorder. She s on Paxil, is seeing a psychologist, and will see a psychiatrist later this month. My son has hidden all the knives and other sharp instruments. what is your opinion?

hi
thanks for using HCM.
sleep walking can occur in this age group and very rarely it could be due to Paxil also. so in my opinion consult your psychiatrist and taper off Paxil.
thanks
