BIPOLAR sister and CURRENTLY MANIC sister doesn't want to take her Anti-physchotic meds, cuz her breasts leak.

so which is better her to be MANIC or for her to be calm and gettting better with breast leakage for a few days?

she sees her breasts leak and she said it will give her breast cancer...
Answer:
She needs her meds. Go to her Dr as soon as possible and say what's going on. Perhaps she can get a different medication with less side effects.
she should talk to her doctor
take her to the Dr who gave her the pills and say what is happening =Dr will most likely change to another type of pill=good luck
well, calm and having breast leakage is better, but unless you're going through it, you can't understand where she's coming from, so you have to understand that she's probably suffering. take her to the doctor, maybe they can give her different medication.
Taking the medication is best. She can talk to her Dr. to see if he wants to change the meds, since there are side effects, but most side effects go away with in time
Breast leakage is a known side effect of some of the anti-psychotic medication and there is no association with an increase of breast cancer as a result.

It is best for her to go back to her psychiatrist and have her re-evaluated. Perhaps they will give her an alternative medication with less/manageable side effect profile.
By all means she should stay on her medications, sometimes side effects are not pleasant, but on the correct medication you have a better quality of life. Thinking she will get breast cancer could be paranoia, someone should tell her doctor about her breast cancer concerns, and all should be concerned about her not taking her meds. Her doctor needs to know all of this.
