Effects of the drug bendectin

Has anyone heard of bi-polar disorder being caused by taking the drug "bendectin" during pregnancy?

  From what I can read about Bendectin can cause (temporary) mental changes that are one potential side effect of concern but bipolar disorder is separate is it occurs on its own but anything that can exacerbate mood swings could potentially worsen bipolar. Also during pregnancy because of the hormonal changes bipolar can often worsen. That medication does have some indications and side effects of concern so it would be worthwhile to speak to your doctor about this. Also any time you are taking a medication and start to experience any mental changes its crucial to inform your doctor at that time and they can see what to do from there, depending on cause within their professional discretion.

Thank you very much.  I took Bendectin for three months while I was pregnant.  My adult son, although never specifically diagnosed as bi-polar, has had issues since the age of 13 with drugs and alcohol and mood swings.  Although he is in recovery and won't consider using drugs or alcohol now, the mood swings and paranoia continue to worsen.  He is a functioning business owner and has tried to get help but refuses to take medication.  I am wondering if the Bendectin could have played a part in this?
