Hi There, Thanks for asking. The medication you mentioned do not have much side effect, especially they are not in high dose. If she continues the medication and this is the first episode she is experiencing, her doctor can stop the medications after a year if she does not have any especial issue then. It is very interesting that if you control you emotional expression in the family, she will have a controlled mood. Actually, Low emotional expression can decrease the chance of worsening situation from 44% to 10% in the future, and it has been shown in the studies. It means you may not only less be critical to her behaviors, but also less show strong emotions to everything she does. Have a good health!
