Hi,

I have to say, from my experience, that if you are still getting racing thoughts and bad sleep your meds aren't right. One of the things with the early stages of treatment is that you can easily expect too little. You have to be really determined not to stop until you have a manageable situation. My wife and my doctor have taught me that over the past 8 years.

Also it takes time to get the meds right and even when they are right your body might fight them a bit and change as well so they have to be adjusted.

Enough on the meds. The other thing is you HAVE to ask your wife to come to psych sessions. Not so she can get an explanation for your - dare I say - less than optimal behavior - but so she gets to have some input into the process. She is objective and can tell the doc you're not ok (even if you often say you are)...

My marriage - I dunno. Might make it - I keep trying but I've been a real **** along the way so we'll see. Takes a while and you gotta be strong and ask her to help and also acknowledge the strain it puts on her..

Best of luck mate!!
