[QUOTE="totoro, post: 215986, member: 3155"] Luckily for me, husband and our therapist have convinced me that I have to LISTEN to husband when I start to destabilize. I don't like it, I fight it! But in the end I know husband loves me and he is not *messing* with my head! When I went off my Lamictal, I started getting more of all of my symptoms and couldn't sleep. I was a raging...well lunatic! He basically told me this much. I cried, I fought it. But I had to be honest with myself. All of the other stuff had not been working, the vitamins, the exercise etc... I need medications. So I made an apt with a psychiatrist. He is going with me to the next apt so he can meet her and know who I go to and have a dialogue with her. Feel comfortable in case something were to happen. I know it is hard, for both of you. It has been such a long hard road for me to step back and let someone else tell me when I am losing control. I think it will always be a blow and very difficult to swallow. But this is my life, especially if I want to stay married and help my kids. I hope he realizes this also. It is so important to listen to others. [/QUOTE]
