So? Sometimes you are wrong, huh? That was my point! You think you know it all but...leave, learn.

All I can do is be hopeful that this isn't a situation that DH will be in. He isn't in the "too depressed to get out of bed" stage. He's still functioning as per normal in regards to doing things around the house, attending social functions, working etc.
His therapist recommended medication because while DH is recognizing his thoughts and making proper connections to what he's feeling/why he's feeling it etc. His brain is being logical about what is going on, but he's not getting emotionally relieved. or whatever.
maybe I am just trying to make myself feel better... I don't know.

I said shit because it's freaking upsetting news. That you could get well enough to kill yourself? Hello, talk about rotten. I'm not even being monitored for my anti depressants. Great.

I don't know. I don't blame you for being scared. DH went thru that but was put on anti depressants but even then I moved the guns to the downstairs safe

I am scheduled to go out of town next week... I don't think I should leave, now! I'd probably spend my entire time worried as hell.

If not I would think of cancelling. You will not be functional being worried sick. So what is the point of going right? Good luck with whatever your decision is...

I say they do not monitor you if you had answered that you had never had a suicidal thoughts. That's what she told me the reason for the question. Will getting stronger drive you to a committing. If you had not thought about it - they just believe you. Which is good and irresponsible at the same time. Have you been drinking? No! So keep driving...

I am going to visit my family, so no alone time. I tried to get him to come with me, but he doesn't want to take this much time off working. and he wants to be in town to spend mother's day with his mom since his dad left her last year.

It's a great pity the right of free speech isn't based on the obligation to say something sensible.

There is some truth to this. I have a friend who studied suicide from a clinical standpoint. Most happen when people start feeling better and can think things through. They will usually share their plan with someone. If anyone ever tells you exactly how they plan to do it, and you know they used to be depressed, that's the time to call 911 and get them some help. Most people think they are kidding, but in reality, if they have a clear vision of how they will do it, in their mind it's already done. oh dear lord- this is terrifying. honestly, it makes me want to curl up in a ball and cry. Just be sure to keep yourself grounded. Your DH needs that support. There's no need to be terrified if you're sure to keep yourself in the loop. His therapist will be key. Let the therapist know you're there to help and willing to commit yourself to helping DH find his path again.

If your DH is working with a psychatrist regarding medication he should be all right. Part of their job is to religiously monitor you as you adjust to the medication. The key will be DH needs to be 100% honest and open with the psychiatrist.
For every story of someone killing themselves while on medication there are that many more stories about people who DON'T.
I am not saying don't care and I am not saying don't worry. I am saying take everything you are reading here with a grain of salt.

I am not saying don't care and I am not saying don't worry. I am saying take everything you are reading here with a grain of salt. I guess his therapist had him talk to his regular MD yesterday, since he saw his therapist in the morning and had an appointment with his MD a couple hours later. A few years ago when he was super stressed he told his MD and she said that she wanted him to talk to someone first and didn't want to prescribe him anything. So, I guess now that he is seeing a therapist she was willing to give me something. She did tell him to call her ASAP and report any and every side effect. I was telling him last night, he has to tell me if ANYTHING at all is different. I think he's clear enough that he will do this. He just called and he starts working on the water taxis on monday. he sounds excited. I think this will help his depression too... being outside, in the sun (should it ever decide to show itself again) and active and interacting with others.

Wellbutrin is in my "cocktail" of meds. I take 4 different meds: 2 in the morning and 2 at night. I hope this helps him. It really helps to hear SUCCESS stories! I was on generic zoloft for 2-3 years. It helped a lot with my depession, almost imediately. Have him take vitamin D too. Most of us don't get enough of it, even in summer.

It definitely can take time to determine the correct dosages and medications that work on a person. The meds I now take did not even exist (except maybe in clinical trials) when I was first diagnosed with depression in 5th grade, in the 60's.

How is DH doing so far? Anything good? He is doing well. He hasn't started the anti-depressants yet. He did start his new job working on the boats yesterday. He is exhausted, but he says it is a good kind of exhausted. He might start the meds this weekend, or try and give it some time and see how things go. Thanks for asking Sent from my SM-G920T using proboards
