so in essence they are continuing on with a medication that has obviously not be helpful to her? that doesn't sound right to me. have they ever tried abilify or seroquel? have they tried any anti-depressant meds in the past? i've heard that lamictal has helped many but if it is not working for your wife i don't know why they would drop everything else and just leave her on it and the klonopin which is typically prescribed for anxiety. and as far as the sleep aids, it may be difficult to get them now that they have record that she used them in a suicide attempt. in addition it may not be a good idea since she used them for that cause. can it be that because she is missing the kids that may be trigerring her depression? has she openly discussed how she feels to you or the therapist?
