Tell me this isn't depression... with a little hypomania thrown in for good measure.

[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 493232, member: 3444"] It HAS to be bipolar. Because he was like this times a HUNDRED before he started medications, so unless he had the cavernoma/seizure issues when I met him 23 years ago (and he didn't start those symptoms until we'd been married 15 years) and unless he was starting dementia at age 24 when I met him, then it's definitely bipolar. :rofl: psychiatrist agreed with me back in November that we need to get husband off Paxil and on something else... I'm guessing he'll try Seroquel XR since it works so well for difficult child 2, but we didn't go there in that conversation. I just am amazed the psychiatrist needed ME to tell him what to say to husband because he felt husband was resistant to going off Paxil. I said to tell him, "Look, if Paxil were doing the job it's supposed to do, then you wouldn't be having these symptoms. THEREFORE you need to try something else." It's really very simple logic, and husband responds to that well especially if you keep it unemotional and stick to the facts. And I'm getting ready to just drop a reality check in husband's lap if things continue... [/QUOTE]
