Okay, please don't ask me how I know this or how I came across the information, just know that it's true.

What would you do if you found out a guy you were dating had taken a drug for schizophrenia or bipolar... I don't know if he is still currently taking the medication, but I do know that he did take it about a year and a half ago when he was seeing a therapist.... Now, I have spent some time with this guy and I have never seen or heard any indications of any mental health disorders... Now, I'll be honest here- I am on a mild medication for depression after dealing with my Ex's affair, but I am not on an antipsychotic drug.

I'm a little scared b/c I know that is not something you would share with someone unless you could trust them. Plus if he DOES have that severe of a mental illness wouldn't he still be on medication and would he be allowed to have his children on a regular basis, plus could he hold down a job?

I am just hoping that this medication is used for other purposes and not for the treatment of schizophrenia......

What do you guys think????
