[QUOTE="crazymama30, post: 257476, member: 3184"] Thanks DJ, I kinda thought that you can't medicate a person to perfection, so to say. I have felt that way about difficult child, but it is easier for me to read difficult child than husband. Except when he gets sketchy eyes. That always worries me. husband is a rapid cylcer also, and he does not so much have melt downs as he has problems with his sleep. Before medications he would be up for 48hrs at a time. Sleeping pills did not touch him, percocet wire him, nothing helped before he saw psychiatrist. The tardive is horrible, and psychiatrist said it is permanent, we just need to try to keep it mellow. It can get pretty bad, right now he has sores in his mouth from the jaw movement. I know he is worried (won't talk about it) as he was up at midnight doing the dishes. The dishwasher was running when we went to bed and there was another load to do (easy child did some baking). He could not stop thinking about the dishes. I went to sleep and woke up about midnight and he was up doing the dishes. I don't know what time he fell asleep, but his sleeping pattern is slipping. He is staying up later and sleeping more and more. Ug.Ug.Ug.Ug.Ug. I am really getting worried about him. He sees psychiatrist next week and husband won't do mood journalling (don't think he really can) so I have been writing on him in my difficult child journal, one color of ink for difficult child and another for husband. Sigh. [/QUOTE]
