He was on lexapro for a few months and then he stopped taking it. Before he stopped taking it my brother was the most calm easy going person id ever met. I started getting phone calls from his wife and friends telling me that hes not acting right and that hes doing wierd stuff like running over stop sighns and gates until he totaled his truck. Hes staying with me right now because his wife doesnt want him around their daughter. As soon as he came over i noticed something wasnt right, he was talking really fast and kept switching from subject to subject and saying stuff that didnt make any sense. He keeps taking the batteries out of stuff and throwing random stuff away. He broke my washing machine this morning by forcing the lid to open while it was locked. I dont know what to do, i can leave him alone for fear that hes going to break everything in my house or burn it down (which he already almost did) but i have to work. Should i take him to a mental hospital? He wont go willingly though and idk if you can force someone to stay at one. And does anyone know how long it takes before the side affects stop?
