[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 114367, member: 1550"] My last .02 and I'll shut up [img]:wink:[/img] If he's taking any drugs at all besides his prescribed drugs, even if he is forced to comply and take the prescription drugs they will NOT help him. The recreational stuff neutralizes the good effects of a mood stabilizer--and, no, he isn't on one. Why are you against Lithium? It has the highest success rate of any mood stabilizer and has anti-suicidal properties (the only one that does) and is also sometimes used for substance abuse tendencies (however he has to stop using before it will help that). These are the major mood stabilizers. Some bipolars need two of them to become stable: Lithium, Depakote, Trileptal, Tegretal, Lamictal Often antipsyotics like Zyprexa are used WITH a mood stabilizer. Anti-depressants and stimulants can cause bipolars to literally go crazy. They must be watched very carefully. Good luck. I'm glad you took the car. He feels like a loser because he's acting like one. If he turns his life around, he'll have much better feelings towards himself. Giving him permission to drive a guided missel won't help his self esteem. [/QUOTE]
