Title: Antidepressants & antipsychotics? Post by: trees on September 20, 2014, 09:01:37 PM <split from another thread>
Do you mind me asking how your mom was willing to go on antidepressants & antipsychotics? I've tried to suggest antidepressants (and anti-anxiety) medication to my mom gently before-- always when she was facing some health crisis & saying "oh, why don't you talk to your dr. about this while you are dealing with this awful thing,... " (i.e., never implying that she needed to be on them all the time) and she was always super dismissive of the suggestion. Ditto re: therapy. I hope this is not too personal of a question; feel free to ignore if it is. Thanks! Title: Antidepressants & antipsychotics? Post by: sparrowfarfrom home on September 20, 2014, 09:52:58 PM DANG!

Tree, my mom is lower functioning BP and had a couple breakdowns necessitating psychiatric intervention. She is on several meds. A recent increase of her seroquel has made her more mellow and able to transition out of a negative mood .I think seroquel is an awesome drug for bp. Harri, Hahaha |iiii |
