NM -
Let's talk for a minute about what ROs are and are not good for, and the craziness of still being in the house with someone you have a restraining order against.

Basically, all a restraining order is good for is to assure that IF you call the cops and IF they get there in time, that they will haul him off. Sadly, most killings of women by men they have restraining orders against occur before the cops arrive. This is why I used to tell all of my patients in abuse situations that, in addition to the RO, they needed to go somewhere that the SO could not find them in order to be safe.

I know he hasn't hit you yet, but taking the phone so that you couldn't call is a very very bad sign. Please consider whether you need to move out of there and into a shelter.

Meanwhile - are you counting his pills? Do you know what he's taking and how much? These wild swings of his could be related to his medications - withdrawal, remedication, back and forth. I would try to surreptitiously keep count. It may be enlightening.
