Waking and Tapering
Life changing decisions
“it’s not wise to make any life changing decisions while under the influence of these drugs. That’s the message that he needs to hear”
True emotions blocked
“Before he makes such a drastic decision, he may want to understand exactly what these drugs do. It’s hard to believe, but they actually block true emotion. If you can get him home and then taper. If he feels the same then ok but he is making a decision on a mind altering drug. I’m utterly devastated and like u cry almost daily especially as I cut. Love turns to grief. Print off the stories. I’ll talk to him anytime”
Educate on the dangers
Never blame the drugs
When I was on the meds and everything was spinning out of control,I didn’t believe that
my meds were causing this. I got mad when my husband said that I had become manic.
Anytime someone tried to talk to me I would manipulate the conversation. IT doesn’t matter
who tried until I was off of them and a while later I realized it. I am so happy to hear you
are by her side and fighting for your family. Best of luck to you.
Taper advice
10% is pushing it. It’s more like 2-5% every 2-4+ weeks
waking and regret
All these weird things that us medicated have done over the years on meds that we just didn’t notice…. I’m getting all those come back now.. every day .. it’s torture,, I want to turn clock back 16 years .. and then not listen to drs .
Nice but numb
That’s true. My husband did nice things for me while he was extremely emotionally detached from me. Even after he told me he wanted a separation, it didn’t stop him from doing nice things for me. He explains now that a separation was the only thing that made sense in his head. He says he always knew he loved me, he just couldn’t feel it at the time
Fuming over nothing
Yeah I get confused, I’m not sure if my anger towards some people is real or just me being extremely sensitive. Sometimes it’s legit and sometimes it’s ridiculous, I’ll stay up all night fuming at what someone said, something that wasn’t really even that bad.
