Yep, I know it is not an antibiotic, it is a steroid. husband is the one who does not know didly. I told him it was a horrible drug (for him), and that I did not think he should take it. He will not listen to me, so I told him to call psychiatrist and then he lied about. He said he called psychiatrist and psychiatrist said to take it since he was not taking anything so it could not interfere with his medications. I told him I was not worried about interference with medications, and if he was going to lie about what psychiatrist said then at least he could make it sound real. I told him if he gets out of control or violent he won't be here. Done, end of story. So he said, well I am fine now. Ok, so since he is fine now he will always be fine. He then says that they gave him prednisone all the time when he was a kid when he got bronchitis and he was fine. Well, husband was not BiPolar (BP) as a child (at least when he lived with his mom). From what his mom remembers he was a great kid.
He is so unaware of himself. He does not even know what mania is, he just knows when he feels different. He really cannot even tell many times when he is cycling. He is so emotionally repressed and retarded is is amazing. He actually has no clue what hypomania is. The part that is so frustrating is that he has no short term memory. Maybe from previous head injuries, or it could be from the BiPolar (BP) and/or all the medications but he cannot remember anything. If you take him back through a situation he can remember bits and pieces, but you never know if it is true. He has been known to just tell people what they want to hear because he cannot remember anything else.
Now he does not want me to go to his doctor appointments again as I ask too many questions. Well, maybe then he would know what medications he was prescribed.
