My Bipolar SISTER IS MANIC AGAIN! HELP US! She Does Not Want to Take her Medication!?
right now shes yelling swearing etc....see her fiance tells her not to take her medication and that its bad for her...
her meds do work, in fact she was getting better until she came back from sleeping over at her boyfriends this weekend,
even last weekend she returned home very manic again after she slept over at her boyfriends place...so i know this for a fact, her boyfriend has been convincing her not to take her meds, and she listens to him
her breasts were leaking a few days ago and shes not taking her anti-physcotic medication ever since this weekend spent at her boyfriends, and now shes back home and MANIC MANIC MANIC...
she says it will giver her breast cancer and thats why she doesnt want to take it,
yet she smokes a pack of cigs a day
Answers:
A ton of bi-polars never want to take their meds. I think you should talk to her bf and tell him how she acts when she gets home and that she needs to take them, or have ur parents kick her out if she doesnt comply. I know its hard but she shouldnt be ruining everyone elses life. Seriously sit her down and tell her shes acting psychotic and try to find a solution from here. Stay strong and good luck.
