[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 302261, member: 1514"] First question in your post...do I think taking a hit of acid could have been something to tip her over into bipolar...YES! It is a definite one hit wonder that can send your brain chemicals flying. Actually one of my favorite drugs. LOL. I am not surprised at the cocktail they have her on but am somewhat saddened by it because it is one that I am pretty sure she wont continue on because of side effects. Once she feels "well" and decides she doesnt need the medications anymore, she will Difficult Child them and all will fall apart because she wont like the side effects from them. Thats the bad part of bipolar. I really wish they would try the more weight neutral stuff especially with female patients. Pull her down on the mania with the seroquel, fine, but go for maybe lamictal. Sigh. LOL...I need a medical degree. I think she needs to get very educated very fast on what she has. If she can do that, maybe she would be more willing to be partner in her care. Learning what she has, the why's, how's, what medications do and treat...maybe it will help her feel in control.
