Don't think anyone bothered to read my post. You can breastfeed on most modern antidepressants, and antipsychotics are likely to have had to have been stopped in pregnancy (breastfeeding irrelevant). I suspect that aspect may have been misreported.

Regardless, as a diagnosed schizophrenic off of her antipsychotics she should have been monitored.

Also worth noting, Nedusa, is that you use "allowed" and the presumption that other people or medical staff would be to blame for that. She wasn't sectioned or a criminal, she had prescription meds and was (rightly! Let's not start advocating forced medication!) free to make the decision to discontinue them. Obviously that was a huge mistake, but it wasn't necessarily OK'd by a doctor. A doctor is only there to advise, permission is not required to discontinue any medical treatment, unless there has been legal intervention on the grounds that the patient isn't capable of making a decision.
