no she wasn't suicidal, it was just a shocking self mutilation session. I'm so exhausted I wouldn't leave her side. She saw a new pdoc yesterday and he changed her meds straight away. That's why I was so angry with the hospital staff. It never would have happened if she was on the right meds and they wouldn't do anything about it. She got put on lithium yesterday and had her seroquel raised, woke up bright as a button and went off to work. I now have 3 days to relax and calm down. All I wanted was someone to reassess her mental condition and meds, she should never have been on lexapro in the first place. Her new pdoc thinks she has BPD. I didn't think she was bipolar in the first place, she never had the highs and lows, just severe mood swings which the lexapro aggravated. She's being weened off that now thank god.
