In reply to Crashed on vacation..., posted by Maximus on July 20, 2006, at 11:28:25
Salut mon ami! :-)
I don't have any suggestion for you re. medication. Do you think your crash is the result of result of environmental/situational factors or chemical. Prior to crashing was your wife supportive of you? Maybe you don't need a med change ... maybe you need talk therapy.
I feel for you.
Let us know what happens (med change etc.).
Hugs,
Maxime
