I don't see the lawsuit going anywhere. The drug company will say it was the mental illness causing the irrational spending as opposed to the medication. Is it worth the time and effort to go back and see where the money went? If it's gone, it's gone. Why not just start now and figure out your debts, expenses, and income, and go from there? If the debt is insurmountable, bankruptcy is an option.

(I speak from experience with this. I'm bipolar and it's really common for people in the hypomanic or manic state to spend too much.)

I'm not really hopeful for a lawsuit at all. Understanding how and why this happened is important to me, though. I can't move forward until I know who I've been this past year. I can't just accept missing a year of my own life and pick up the pieces as if nothing ever happened.
