I realize the idea of taking medication for life might be as daunting as the notion of being sober for life. But try not to worry! With time and some work on the part of you and your doctor you will likely find a combo of meds that maximizes the benefits while minimizing the side effects. It might take a while but don't despair. Bear in mind too that research into the brain reveals new insights that lead to new treatments every year or two. So the way things are today aren't necessarily the way they'll be forever.
So for now, take your meds and go to work! Ultimately you have to do this for yourself but it doesn't hurt to remember what's riding on this. You have a wife and little girl that need their husband and daddy! There's nothing wrong with doing it for them as well as for yourself.
Stay the course, TDG!
