I just went through a similar situation. My RAD was diagnosed with BP1 and she just had a full blown mania episode. Her phyciatrist changed her from seroquil to lithium and a couple days after she started taking the lithium she was in a really bad state. I didn't know what was happening. I've never seen that before. She was manic but she also seemed like she was drunk and she wasn't. She had trouble walking and talking. She was argumentive. She was suicidal. It was horrible. She got over that but she looks completely worn out, like she had a breakdown. She has been kind of depressed and she is just not right. I think the med change threw her into a tailspin.
She is contemplating about what to do with her meds. She is thinking about going back to the seroquil and not taking the lithium. I keep telling her to call the physc. but she hasn't. My hands are tied, they won't talk to me.
I wish I could help you, but I can only commiserate with you. I am not very knowledgable about this stuff. I'm sure others will be along to help both of us.
Hugs..............Lo
