Thanks Star. Thing is, Schizophrenia is in the family genetics from bio idiot and now we found on maternal family line (they have it on back burner for middle difficult child for future reference). My second cousin just recently triggered into it from "smoking" and mixing drugs too. 
Scares the beegus out of me knowing what I know just within the family history here.
As they increased the Lithium up (started at 600, 900, 1200) she became more and more angry/anger burst over nothing it seemed. I really did think it was the Lithium. When she started not getting the proper care I began searching out for a new dr but it's hard as she is very limited on who she can go to. Finally just found someone else that isn't in the same practice group. The Lithium even caused her thyroid to go wonky and her primary dr had to check that out. It did level off thankfully. I think it might have caused an iron problem for her as well as she has never had problems with iron either and she had low levels and had to go on that. It was a big concern because she had had mono about 3 years ago and we thought she was having to battle that again with how fatigued she was feeling all over again. Plus she got upset because she is a faithful donor of blood ( she is O negative - universal donor and the fact that it is given to babies pleases her even more) and she wasn't allowed to donate due to low iron.
As for getting blood level, she can't have old dr draw because she isn't "with them" any longer and she hasn't been "assigned" the new dr yet. She has to "see" the therapist next week and then can see dr same day who can order it. I know it sounds messed up but it's the "system" and how it works. The only other thing is to go to an ER which is a really big hassle and she is not a patient person. I told her we could do that but after speaking to her primary care dr's nurse and discussing it with difficult child, unless things get totally unmanageable (meaning if difficult child feels like things are really out of control) then no reason to go to ER as we are in agreeance that she is tapering down the Lithium anyway which will help bring the level down too (also spoke to pharmacist).
As to the transcript, I have spoken to a disability rights advocate and a disability law center on the transcript issue both here in TN and in NC (where school is based). They have every right to withhold transcript until the money is paid! See what happened is she received the financial aid loans from FAFSA process and school got them at beginning of school. When she withdrew a month later they had to return it. Only thing is, she now owes the "school" the 30% of the cost (tuition, room/board, etc). By law, they have a right to hold it. Doesn't matter that they know her income and she could never pay that by the date they want it in full because it's not like financial aide loan you pay over time. So, she can't get transcript to send to UT here to get back into school (so she will loose essentially at least a year or more) which will help stabilize her even more because she lives for school (and diversion) and getting on with her life. She has been volunteering at the local library (her love of books/literature) weekly, taking zumba and other classes at the Y, starting a garden here, going on small hikes at the local places, attending "shows" (alone) at hotspots to see concert (free) to maybe meet others but mostly just for the music, etc. All things to help occupy time and keep herself busy. I try and give her other ideas as well. She wanted to start fostering some furpups but that is just not practical here not only with the difficult children but the setup is not conducive to that kind of thing. LOL She'd be great but just not a wise thing.
Crazy - I was also thinking about the Ambien as I've known it to cause some strange things too. She only gets 15 pills for the month so it's not a steady, daily thing for her to take but I think you just never know with medications when it will be that 1 pill that will do something. I was also thinking it could be the Seroquel as I've heard that can do some strange things.
We are talking about a really super intelligent young women who is very much aware of herself and about most everything and educates herself about things as well. Problem is she gets serious anxieties, can be very insecure and believe it or not (though she has no reason to be) has some self esteem issues too.
