I like the fact that she is determined to get this right and corrected. Just hope for your sake that she doesn't end up taking forever to get to her final destination.
Whatever is right for her will play out in whatever fashion and whenever. I'm living my life beside her but not in her way, just here whenever she reaches out.
Stress is a killer! But, I would be concerned about the patient making the decision to stop taking the meds. There are adverse side effects for quitting cold turkey. Is she doing this under the guidance of her Dr.?
No, she is making choices on her own about the meds, and as you know intimately its' hard to stand by and wonder what might happen. I'm researching it now to see what I can get off the internet. In fact I am seeing her all over the place emotionally and physically. I'm not sure if this would be occuring with or without the meds. Very scary times here, and a very varied array of emotions. You remember she went through a period of threatening suicide so I am not taking this lightly. I'm talking to a bunch of friends in the health profession behind the scenes, and sleeping with one eye open.
I wish my W would stop her meds as well. She has been on them for so long, it just seems like the ailment should have run its course. I think that sometimes a more natural approach to treating whatever the meds are supposed to treat can be just as beneficial and less toxic with fewer side effects.
She feels that way too, so this decision by her is actually an attempt to regain all kinds of health. Where its related to a psychological issue its tough. She is seeking to find a way to do this naturally and she has an appt with the psychiatrist Friday. I am less worried nowadays about suicide, but I am worried about an accident because she is exhausted, or freaked out, or depressed. You know while driving, or if she goes out with coworkers and gets jacked up. I remember one time she was driving down my street and in a mental fog. I could see her coming and I was jogging. She almost hit me and kept going, never saw me, and that was in her convertible. Like your sitch it's tough letting them make their way when its like this. I'm nervous.
