I appreciate everyone's responses. And yeah, she's serious about taking her meds. She can't stand going to bed without it because she feels crappy in the morning, sometime nausea and headaches, but I imagine that could just be withdrawal. She wants to eventually get off of it, but that will be sometime down the road I'm sure, and of course after talking to her doctor.

Oh yeah, bassplayer, my girlfriend plays bass too, well, dabbles in it a little bit.

The reason I got curious was because my sister and her husband are friends with this couple who have been married for several years, and she (the friend) has a history of schizophrenia. Now, I'm not worried about this from my girlfriend (just got me curious about this type of disorder), but he woke up to his wife beating and cutting him for 'no reason'. He got her calmed down and went back to sleep and it happened again. Then that morning or the next she came at him with a shovel, and he got it from her, and then got an axe and busted out the windows in their $50k truck and around the house. They tried to get her into a facility, but for some reason they wouldn't accept her, so they were going the next day to a hospital for an evaluation. She got it in her head that he was cheating on her, so she made an account for him on matchmaker.com, and then accused him of doing it. All of this stuff she does when she's kinda blacked out, but still remembers doing it. All I can say is I feel terribly sorry for both of them.

But, like I said, I don't expect this from my girlfriend (and hope it doesn't ever turn into that), just wanted to ask some questions and get whatever comments or ideas that I could concerning these types of disorders.

Thanks again.
