[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 302338, member: 1233"] I am sorry she is so ill. It is sad that she needs to be inpatient, but at least she knows she needs the help. My aunt of the many marriages (now on #9!) married a guy she had known for decades. Her family really liked him, heck, her dad tried to get her to marry him 15 years earlier! At first things were great. Then he went to a Union meeting one night. Someone spiked his drink at the meeting. Some of the guys were really angry because he spoke his piece and the higher ups felt it was true. So they put something in his drink. When he came home he could barely stand, slurred his words, HIT my aunt with a closed fist! and kicked his cat and 3 of their dogs. My aunt called her son and he brought 2 BIG friends with him to settle the guy down. They got him to the ER and he tested positive on a drug screen for meth and acid. His job required monthly drug testing and his had been done the day before. He was very much against drugs so the chances he took it willingly were just about zero. He was diagnosis'd bipolar after that and was NEVER the same. He was downright scary and his health went down the potty. So YES, one dose could do this! Sadly, it could even do this with-o a history of psychiatric problems. The medication stopping is such a huge problem with bipolar patients. It is part of the reason that patients with bipolar have a very high mortality rate. Hopefully the medications can be managed so as to NOT have such bad side effects. Be sure to have your bro ask about weight neutral medications and about alternative therapies like massage and biofeedback to help her with relaxing and learning to calm herself down. Maybe you could do some research on the alternative ways to help. I will keep the whole family in my prayers. I hope this is a one time temporary thing for her. [/QUOTE]
