CANDC - I can't speak to his prescribing doctor because he doesn't have one yet. He has been nursing a single bottle of Celexa for the last year, taking half a pill maybe 3 or 4 times a month at most. But at even half a pill, the personality change can be very, very extreme. Granted, most of the time he's fine. That is, he's fine until I do or say something he doesn't like, then he goes completely blank faced and starts calmly telling me exactly the right thing to rip my heart into pieces. Is it mania? Quite possibly. But, how do I protect myself and our son from it without hurting my husband? The last thing I want to do is make his depression worse.

TishaBuv - the problem with asking him to stop if things get out of hand is that I worry that by the time that happens, he will have absolutely no love left for me and simply choose to walk away rather than try to fix things. He has done that kind of thing before in previous relationships.
