My mother is currently on tegratol and epitec 50mg for biopolar. We always thought that she suffered from depression, but now the docter say she is biopolar. She is on the meds for almost 6 months now. I am very very worried about her. She is very aggressive - towards life and people around her. There is always something wrong - backpain or headache. I dont always know if she is telling the truth. Since she started with the new meds she had vertigo twice! She is very moody - she can cry, be angry, be rude - all in 30 minutes. The bottomline is that she is MUCH worse than before. I really want to help her, I am desperate! She is mean towards everyone!! So I dont know if I must consult her psychiatrist? She doesnt listen and I think that would make her very mad, but what can I do to help?
