[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 332864, member: 1233"] If these are her normal medications then YOU need to call her doctor. Tell the doctor that she is threatening to hurt you and needs her medications to help stop this. Ask the doctor for samples of anything that she is on (if he has them) and for one month prescriptions to be called in to the pharmacy or ready to be picked up. Assure him that seh WILL be there for her appointment if you have to drag her there. Most docs will call in a month worth of medications for a patient on daily medications. Being off of her medications cold turkey can cause seizures and many other awful problems. (google the name of the medication and withdrawal to find LOTS of interesting info). Or the pharmacy can call and get refills for you. This is very common. I know you want to let wife take care of this but YOU will be the person who gets hurt. wife's behavior is also VERY damaging to your kids. Document this in your dayplanner or journal, that wife ran out of medications and waited to call the doctor until she was ready to hurt you. You may need to be able to show that this happened (with specific dates) if your marriage ever breaks up or wife ever hurts you. This info will allow you to PROTECT YOUR KIDS in case wife ever gets a lot worse. NOT saying that will happen, just that you should prepare for everything. Go call her doctor now. It is important -even if she gets mad. Chances are the scheduling person did not understand that she needs her medications ASAP. [/QUOTE]
