Same thing, SSRI's for Bipolar patients can be diabolocal. The conventional wisdom is that they are OK for Beepers if you are given mood stabilisers, but that was clearly not the case for me.

I'm in Australia and I have gone the full gamut of who you can make compaints to and I am at the stage now where I have all four relevent patient files. I have read through 2 with my therapist and will read through the last two. Then I will copy the lot and pass it onto a mental illness advocacy agency I have established contact with. They will review it and see see whether there's enough there to send it to a lawyer who works on a no win no pay basis (incidendentaly this is a lawyer I have used for othert things). So I would suggest you start to seek out what compaints mechanisms there are through the Government, and then if you have no luck there, see if there are any mental illness advocacy organisations that can help.
