Don't ever feel you need to defend yourself. If it weren't for the dr's and meds my daughter is on I don't know if she would be alive. I didn't mean to suck it up, I meant they had done so many med's that her body didn't know what way was up. Bi-polar also took so much from my daughter on top of being handicapped (mr). If I hadn't questioned all the drugs, I don't know if she would still be with me. After a hospitalization, thank God, finding the right dr. she's having good days more than bad now.
