Thanks for the help and advice, but the decision has been made for me. He packed some stuff up and left last night. He feels that it is best for all of us that he just go away, I'm not sure what that...
I feel like I'm brand new to the bipolar world after being with a bipolar man for almost 20 years. Now that he's off meds, I'm so overwhelmed with everything. I can't figure out at all where he's at...
So my 12 year old daughter and my bipolar I hubby (who's not currently on meds, as some of you know) seem to be at each other's throats lately, with me stuck in the middle. I've tried explaining to...
One other thing - where do I find these discount Rx cards? And can you use more than one for one prescription? Thanks!...
Hi again all, I wish I had more to share, but the lawyer does think we have a good case... It's gonna cost an arm and a leg, and I'll have to take some retirement money out, but hopefully it'll be...
Tuf, I'm in much of the same situation as you. My hubby is bipolar, and I try to keep our life running as normal as possible. Is your wife on meds? Does she accept that fact that she has this...
I do have to check on the discount rx cards. I have something from Glaxo Smith that gives us some help, but still, more than we can afford on a monthly basis. Hubby is home today with an appt. to see...
Thanks everybody for the advice. I'm so trying to do the one day at a time thing, not look at the what ifs... It's funny, I don't want to leave, I never have wanted to, except in the very beginning...
I'm in need of advice, from someone who is the spouse of a person with bipolar. My husband has been diagnosed since 1998, went on meds, first Lithium which didn't work, then Lamictal, which helped...
Thanks Tortoise11, for your info and support! This is the first time, in 19 years of being together with my hubby, that I've ever turned to anyone for support, and it is wonderful! We did go thru...
Tufflife, thank you. I'm in the same situation, almost word for word, with my husband. I call it the "walking on eggshells" times... I try not to take the things he says to me personally, but at the...
And I also live in Wisconsin, Wood County. Our kids are covered by the state, but again, we make too much money for us to be covered....
He was taking 300mg Lamotrigine (Lamictal) / day, and 25mg Sertraline / day. We've tried to go thru the drug company for help, they say we make too much money, which is crazy, since they don't take...
So my first post to this website was regarding my husband going off his meds, since we don't have insurance and can't afford them. He doesn't think he's doing that bad, but I see it completely...
We've actually tried to get help from the makers of Lamictal. Because we both work, they say we make too much money to get any help from them. They won't take into consideration the amount of our...
I've been married to my husband for almost 14 years now, we were together 5 years before that. He was diagnosed Bipolar 1 after our daughter was born in 1998. He's tried lithium which didn't work,...
