Hi.
I'm in a new relationship.My girlfriend has
ADHD,PTSD,Anxiety Disorder,maybe more diagnosis
I'm unaware of yet.Or that she is.She see's
a psychiatrist[who came up with all this] about once a month,he assess-then prescribes various meds.
For ADHD she has been prescribed Dex..[kind of speed/]. Also Xanax for sleep [& what else not sure.]
Then she seems to take Mood Stabilzer when she feels like it,the name of which I forget.[May start with a P?]
And then lastly blood pressure pills.
On top of this as I've gotten to know her the last 4 months I
realize she has an alcohol problem:a bottle of wine a day-several beers at least.
She is in no psychotherapy at all..just me! lol!
Ive had the same therapist for over 20 years-Ive overcome my own serious alcohol & drug problems. I never used pills to combat my various mental states.Recently i took sleeping pills which i did not like at all.Thats just me tho.
Anyways..I am very concerned about her mixing all this stuff with booze..and whenever i have mentioned this she goes & grabs a Mood Stabalizer! If only I had that as an option!
To see her on Dex is hard for me-she really speeds bad and spasms alot.Mornings are so sweet with her tho[before the routine kicks in].
Somethings not right with this picture & really know little about
the med part..so Im pretty confused & scared..and I see her health in big trouble.
Any opinions on the mixing of all this stuff & booze.
And secondly how can I approach this subject with her
as i care alot!
My only idea so far is to start attending Alanon meetings..
Best to all!
M
