I want to thank you all for replying to my post. My husband just started seeing a new psychiatrist 2 months ago. He is currently on Remeron, wellbutrin, and effexor. His doctor says that if he wants quicker results he has to approach his problems aggresively, and that is why he is taking 3 at once. Perhaps all the medications are making him have the mood swings, since he just recently started taking them. I agree with you all that we should both go to counseling together for this, since it is both of us going through it. I have spoke with him before about it and he said he would be willing to have me come to the psychiatrist with him. I also agree that he may not be telling the doctor the truth, well maybe the truth as he sees it, but not how it really is. I have had a long talk with him about how this is affecting me and told him that I am being supportive as much as I can be, but he also needs to understand what I have to go through on a daily basis as well. He seems to think that we will see a change in him as soon as his body adjusts to these medications, and if not he agreed to try something else. I have also talked him into seeing a psychologist along with the psychiatrist. Maybe it will take more than just medication to help him. Thanks for your support:)
