Thank you for your response.....
Unfortunately, my husband will not listen to me at all right now. I have mentioned the meds to him in the past, but he won't even consider the idea of a problem there. In fact, he has said over the past 3 to 4 months that he feels better than ever. He is happy with his therapist and psychiatrist and only sees himself as getting better. I get the feeling that he is not being honest with his therapist or psychiatrist and just doesnt want to deal with the meds. I do know that he is definitely talking them, but he doesn't think there is a problem. Medication management is out of the question to him.
Another problem with him is that he has a horrible caffeine problem which his doctor has told him he needs to watch. He literally drinks 4 to 5 of those large coffees from Quik Trip every day. I think they are 32 oz each! He has been aware of the way the caffeine affects him in the past and has tried to cut down, but always goes back to his normal heavy intake. The doctor has warned him in the past that the caffeine mixed with the meds can affect him negatively, but I think he is so manic that he can't see this in himself.
