SALT LAKE CITY - A Utah mother says her 23-year-old daughter has been sent to the hospital due to a rare reaction to a medication.

It can also treat bipolar disorder and works by calming a person’s overactive nerves.

But it got bad enough for her to go to the emergency room.The family said they have been told that this condition is rare, but it has caused the 23-year-old’s skin to blister and burn in spots on her face and body.Currently, Nelson is in a hospital burn unit where she is expected to stay for several weeks.
