loneangel, you are right on. I'm an educated woman per se, but I wasn't educated aboutt he effects of SSRI's on some Bipolar patients, thus, this went on for 6 years, with me a fully compliant patient as I always am, enabling maximum damage to to my brain, my functioning, all ther losses I incurred and then near death. And I now KNOW that this takes peoples' lives around the world every day. I wish I'd known then. So when I post about this, it is the vent my fury and grief over what has happened, but also in the spirit of educating others in a similar situation so they don't take YEARS to find out about the mis-prescribing.
