Happy Fish - It is great that you are here in support of your girlfriend. The thing that my husband does for me that I appreciate most is being there and listening to me and helping me get help when things get bad and I have trouble helping myself.

Reddevil - Meds are a blessing and a curse. They are a lifesaver yet they can come with some nasty side effects and it may take a while to find what is right for you. Some side effects you can’t live with and some you may decide to live with because the benefits outweigh the negatives. I live with small skin problems (little rashes that disappear a couple days after they come), very slight memory retrieval problems (I have some trouble retrieving words at times), and mild tiredness (but this could be because I have a 9 month old baby too). Please be as patient as you can and be aware of the different side effects of the meds you are given.
