Punkypunky- "He felt like giving up but hasn't."
This is the best thing I've read all day. We all feel like doing things but our thoughts aren't what count. Our actions do. He might be frustrated but he has not given up on you.
Don't give up on yourself. 6 weeks is barely any time to stabilize and you might go up and down a few more times before you find your sweet spot. Or maybe you're right and this is it for you (I do hope so!). I felt great on 50mg but that fell off quite quickly. I had trouble with each dose uping. I'd start a higher dose and either feel great and have it taper off or feel terrible and then start feeling better, if that makes any sense at all. I'm just starting to feel stable after 2 months of lamictal.
Let your husband know that you are trying to get right and you need his support more than ever now. Use this as an opportunity to be honest with each other and truly live your wedding vows - for better or worse, in sickness and in health.
Good luck!
