educate yourself about bi-polar first; if she stays on the medication she'll be as "normal" as the rest of us :) however a lot of the medication causes the person to become very lethargic and that is why a lot of people stop taking the medication, then ofcourse the person can get severly depressed or have a manic episode eg they may suddenly decide to pain the loungeroom bridght red and green! or go on a massive spending spree, but you will know as they will talk and an incredible speed. and in case your wondering... yes i am qualified in the area of work to state the above :) but education is the key

Make sure she doesn't turn into a zombie, but make her take it, everyday, forever - not good to get on and off that stuff.

if she takes her medicine as directed, she will probably be a little groggy (sleepy) the first week or so, but will start to snap out of it, and will be more cheerful, outgoing, and open with how she feels.. but there will be days where she will probably just start crying about something small, be there for her, let her know that you care, it will make a big difference

I know someone who is bi polar and he always thinks it's time to stop taking the medication once he's been stabilised. They do that a lot so I'm told.
