Gertie! How long has this been going on??? They've made a zombie out of your husband. It's time for you to take control!!! After my husband's TBI, I took charge. I went to every doctor's appointment, I battled the doctors on what drugs he could take. I gave the orders, and I would NOT back down. After my paxil experience, the doctors said I was paranoid about drugs in general, and that my refusal to have my husband take this or that was interfering with his recovery. So, I let them experiment on him -- they gave him everything from Adderall to Zyprexa and then there was a final straw -- I think it was when they gave him Adderall and he vomited nonstop for 12 hours. That's when I called up the shrinks -- all well-known brain injury specialists -- and said, THAT'S IT! He's no longer your guinea pig. And I weaned him off all the drugs, and told the doctors that's what I was doing. No wonder so many people get divorced when one party gets put on these SSRIs. Time to speak up, Gertie. Call that shrink and give him a piece of your mind and tell him what's going on. Maybe I had more clout because I was appointed my husband's guardian and nobody gets to him without going through me. In the end, the doctors were very nice to me and went along with my program, and voila, my husband got better WITHOUT the drugs. STAND YOUR GROUND!

Guest guest Posted September 24, 2004 Report Share Posted September 24, 2004 thanks for the support, Connie -- problem is, I'm not his appointed guardian, and he is acting JUST LIKE every drug addict ever does -- will not discuss it, blows up at any question, and is more faithful to the shrink than to himself. He goes every three months for a prescription. He is in there for 10 minutes. They talk about the shrink's upcoming trip to Europe in his own private jet, and then they talk about the shrink's favorite TV show, and then my husband writes a check for $60 or $70 bucks, and then he goes home. Never in 12 years has this shrink ever billed Medicare or my husband's health insurance, the way real doctors do. What is THAT all about? I am completely shut out.
