The risks are clearly stated on the side effects label. If you must sue anyone, it would be your doctor for not educating you, warning you, and monitoring results. It is also partially your own fault, unfortunately, for not reporting adverse reactions to the doctor so they could make changes. If you were unaware of mania, which is typical sometimes, it should have been caught in a regular followup checkup. There were followups, right?
I think it is self destructive for us to dwell on negatives that make us angry. I think it's better to learn from mistakes, be wiser from them, and carry on with a positive determination to do better with our newfound (though painful) knowledge of ourselves. I agree that you deserve better. Anger will only stand in the way of that happening.
Too often in this age and society we are quick to point the finger at someone else, not wanting to take responsibility for our own actions. That's sad.
