[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 135720, member: 805"] Hmmm.... Sounds like you have to tread carefully here. What about sitting down when you have a quiet molment and making a list. Think of some of the situations when your husband has been happier the last couple months. Write down the times when you have really noticed that he is nicer than before the medications. Then write down some situations from the past that he was obviously not happy or that he was cruel and unsympathetic. Armed with some concrete instances of improvement, it'll be time to speak to husband. Perhaps take him out for a nice dinner and approach the subject gently but straightforward. Allow your joy of having the "old" husband back show through. Perhaps not go into too much detail, but just touch on the subject. Maybe give a a little time and room to mull it around. Then the next morning, if you have that kind of time, you could ask "have you given any more thought to what we spoke about at dinner?" I'm not really sure how I feel about you talking to the docs behind his back. I hope you can find a way to show husband how much his quality of life has improved. Sharon [/QUOTE]
