Smiler, Thanks for the welcome. My husband does not want to understand what is going on with me. He fills that regardless of what is going on, as you know the trials and tribulations of the medications, this has been the worst for me. The doc has gone out of his way to right down what each medication does and why I am on it. I take Paxil, Xanax, Seroquel, Lamictal, Ritalin SR and Klonopin. It has been a rough road and now the doc feels he has gotten the right cocktail going and I am having better days, my husband feels I should be myself again. I have been diagnosed with manic depression for years and after failed suicide attempts, I have the correct diagnosis and getting the right treatment. Just becuase I have a few good days and then I have a bad day, my husband makes the remark "you must have forgotten to take your meds or you are just being lazy" I have spoken with an attorney becuase I would like to go and stay with my parents for a week or two, just so I can rest and he advised against it because he feels that my husband's attorney would claim abandoment. I have always suffered from more depression that the manic periods and I would say that here lately I would rather not be here on earth to stop the suffering. I cannot stand the put downs, the comments that my wife stays home all day becuase she is "sick" or while you are home, take care of the laundry, make these phone calls, make sure dinner is ready. My therapist and dr think this is causing me to regress and I will admit it is, but I am stuck and I have no idea how to get out. BP bites and I really, really hate it right now. Thanks
