You know, my husband was on Lithium and it worked wonders for him. The only problem was that he was drinking heavily at the time and would always get sick after a night on a bender.....so.....he quit taking his meds and then he ended up in the hospital 3 months later finally with the bipolar diagnosis.

Right now he is on Lexapro for depression and Lamictal for mania. I personally don't think its enough or its the wrong stuff for him, but if I contacted his pdoc he would flip out. Especially, now that he wants a divorce.....again.

You are right though about taking care of myself right now. I am trying very hard and I'm in therapy twice a week and it does help some. The problem with me and my therapy is that I always feel great right afterwards because my therapist is great and always says the most poignant things, but then the next day or two days later I am back to feeling like crap and crying non-stop.

I just need to get my head on straight and stop spending so much of my time being consumed by my husband, my marriage, and what MIGHT happen. I need to start thinking about the NOW.

LOL....I just came home from therapy. I need to hold onto this attitude.

Thanks,
Laura
