J.,
Now that does change things. Now it makes me wonder if the *risperdal* might be aggravating it. I wonder if they would have put her on some Depakote with the Wellbutrin instead it could have settled her down instead of her getting worse. That almost sounds like a bipolar mixed state to me. Been there done that!
