    She is forced to take anti-psychotic meds that make her feel “drunk” (apparantly lithium?)
    

    If she's feeling drunk it may be atypical antipsychotics (Seroquel/Zyprexa). Atypicals have a few billion in lawsuits directed at them after Astra Zeneca and Eli-Lilly convinced doctors to use them off-label for anything. People ended up with tremors/tardive dyskinesia, metabolic disorders, weight gain, weird allergies, a whole bunch of shit. The trial results have a huge list of side-effects that aren't on the monograph. Sure, they placate people. If you can get your hands on it 50mg of Seroquel will put you solidly on your ass in 40 minutes.

    Astra Zeneca lost one lawsuit for $500,000,000 in 2010. They sold off the rights to Seroquel a few years ago. Eli-Lilly was fined $1,400,000,000 in 2009 for, uh, lying. Zyprexa's being sold as a weight loss drug by another company now.

    Shit, just read she was on depakote, seroquel, lithium and ativan in 2009. Her doctor sucks. Yeah, the traumatized woman who's mobbed every time she leaves the house isn't happy and the daily handful of downers make her loopy.

    I fucking hate the health and wellness industry.

      Jesus Christ, it's amazing her brain works at all.
