Thank you sandi2 Did you have any thoughts on my reply to your question in the earlier post about the meds?
Not really, I was just trying to pick up some clues as to what might be affecting her. Sometimes, I suppose it helps us if we know something else is affecting a person and maybe that's why they behave badly....but does it really excuse what they do?
I have never heard that you shouldn't stop BC pills all of a sudden, as far as it having an emotional affect. Anyway, I don't know that she's taking anything that would make that great of difference in her behavior, but I'm certainly not a doctor. I have experienced the effects of suddenly stopping antidepressants....and it's not good. I also have to take thyroid medication. Bottom line is that I always knew right from wrong. It could be easy for me to say the medication, or lack thereof, affected my behavior.....and I suppose I'll never know. However, I do take responsibility for my actions, b/c I was not out of my mind. I was just wayward.
Seriously though, I have known of bipolar cases that did cause very unusual behavior when they stopped their medication.
It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
