1. seems i remember that your son was loosing touch with reality?

2. The one finishing up the nursing degree is wrong. There are a BUNCH of reasons why psychiatrists prescribe anti-psychotics to bipolars and others (who aren't actually suffering from psychosis)....one is known as "augmenting." For some reason, some meds like those you mentioned will help the anti-d's and the mood stabalizers work better. Remember there is a BIG difference between a nurse and a psychiatrist.....and I personally don't even trust most psychiatrists to know what they are doing!
