It must be frustrating for you. I have years of experience the same as your husband. Used alchol to self-medicate but since I began Lamictal andPaxil in Jan. the regular urges to drink were less frequent. I did have a few binges though. No drink in 4 mos now; alcohol would make the highs higher and the lows lower like the meds were doing nothing at all. I had to make a choice.....how much do I REALLY want a better existence how far will I go to NOT repeat the past. My behavior got too detrimental on alcohol...alienated everyone. They still won't believe I'm doing better. No its bad to mix meds with alcohol; Has he tried Lamictal? Just spport him anyway and take care of YOU first. Menton often what hes doing to himself. Handing BiPolar sober is much easier on him and family members than staying stuck with old habits/addictions. I hope this helps Take care
