Question:
My BIPOLAR sista's Fiance tells her that her Medication is BAD and she Listens 2 him, then she GOES MANIC HELP
on father's day weekend my bipolar sister spent the weekend overnight at her fiance's, i bet he was convincing her that the meds are bad and it doesnt work, i even heard him saying this, and when she returned home she was MANIC very Manic...before she went to sleepover with her fiance , she was doing fine and getting better
when she returned home she was away from her fiance and more around us (sister, mom and dad) where we tell her to take her meds, and again we could see improvement
BUT THEN she slept over her fiance's again this weekend , and now she's returned home VERY MANIC, shes yelling, screaming, swearing, throwing a fit etc.
a few days ago her breasts were leaking, and i guess her fiance saw that, and didnt like that and told her to stop taking her anti-physchotic medication, OBVIOUSLY she didnt take her meds...
Answers:
Anti-psychotic drugs can cause the lactation you mentioned. She may need to change medications to reduce this side effect. Yes, I would speak with your sister and her fiance and possibly her doctor about what is going on, and work on an alternative treatment plan.
