[QUOTE="crazymama30, post: 332231, member: 3184"] I second the medication minder (or pill box). My husband would never be able to keep his medications straight without it. I fill the medication box, I refill the medications, I go to psychiatrist appts with him (he allows this, but not sure after the last appointment). With that being said, your wife sounds much more functional than my husband---she is able to work and work a lot. I am lucky if husband even does laundry! If she will not accept your help or you don't want to offer it (and that is ok) then I am at a loss. I would be leary of the SSRI's--husband's psychiatrist will not allow him to be put on Savella or Cymbalta for his pain. I can sympathize. I went to work for 8hrs, went to the grocery store, came home, made dinner and have started the laundry. husband did fold a bunch of laundry (miracle) but I had to point out that he can watch football while folding. I take difficult child to all his appts, deal with all his prescriptions, husband's, mine and my grandfather's. It sounds like we have similiar lives and wow does it ever get overwhelming. Fwiw, difficult child takes his Lamictal at night and sleeps fine. Feel free to vent, and if you feel better you can pm and vent. I vent a lot to certain people in my life, and could not function without it. [/QUOTE]
