I'm not asking you to ruin his life but the actions that I'm advocating - and the opinions of the others who've commented seem to support my words - are directed to looking after yourself and also...

The only advice that I can give you Mary is to say what I would do in your circumstances if I were a married woman (as it is I'm a single bloke) and I dare say that there are those who would disagree...
[u]Thanx for that Rosie , I won't be able to function at work on the computer when I go back if I can't see straight! I just hope that this medication will last awhile, or better still, that...

[b] - I take LOFEPRAMINE myself and have done so now for a few years. As I recall I tried a few different ones to begin with and had varying degrees of success. Some really turned me into a zombie...
I agree 200% with your points 1 and 3, probably no2 but not no4.. but don't worry unlike you I have the family from hell! In my early years coming to terms with the CD it was "for goodness' sake pull...
