[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 561322"] I recognize that everyone is different, but one of our child's first doctors, who is now a big shot in the mental health field, once told me that it is very tricky to give someone with bipolar illness an antidepressant and she only would give our daughter a small dosage and only when on a mood stabilizer at the same time. Just something to keep in mind...all changes like this should be reported to her doctor and she should be going to the prescribing doctor regularly. And to talk therapy regularly as we'll. Sadly, since she is over 21, your role in her life should be reduced. Since she is unwell, naturally you might want to help out. But, not to the point that it causes you great heartache or upheaval. Having an adult child like this is very difficult and heartbreaking. Believe me...I know. You might need to seek your own counseling or spiritual guidance. This is really hard. (Hugs) [/QUOTE]
