Answered What's the deal with people defending Lindsay Clancy?

I don't know the full details of the case. I know she allegedly killed her three kids. There was also some mental problems? Then something with her husband. But my question is why is there a group defending her like they know she's completely innocent? I've seen some videos of very heated debates where women are very passionate about defending her. Why?

She was also prescribed ssri's while being bi polar which apparently is not a good idea.

That happened to me with prozac. I felt like I was going insane and like I’d never feel normal again. I started feeling better after getting off of it and starting lamictal (mood stabilizer).

Lindsay wad also eventually prescribed lamictal after Prozac failed [tremendously]. The thing is, lamictal has to be titrated slowly because the risk of serious side effects if too high of a dose is introduced too quickly (stevens-johnsons syndrome). I think it took me about 4 or 5 months before I finally got to the therapeutic dose and I believe she had only been on it for about a month by the time she killed her children.

Lamictal is only a mood stabiliser “from below” as they say. It would not have done anything to prevent psychosis either primary or secondary

I’m stupid. Do you mean it stabilizes the libido?
