Awww Wendy, of course you and your friend are in my prayers. I have BP2 and I strongly advocate taking our meds without fail and completely avoiding alcohol. Alcohol, on or off meds, can trigger an episode very quickly. I never understand why people are drawn to doing that, unless they are very young and inexperienced. Maybe she just wanted to know if she could feel normal again. Sometimes we go through periods of "wanting" to be normal and thinking we can go off our meds. I am so sorry she made this choice and I hope she gets better soon. Hugs

Prayers for you and yours. Take care of yourself too okay? As it is so often said, when it rains it pours, and it seems in this case there are no paddles for the canoes either!
