I am not trying to PUT my husband on anything. He WILL NOT bring the subject up to me because he worries about what I'll think and I know thats the truth.
He worries because of the hell he put me through when he was actively using. I WILL NOT FORCE MY HUSBAND TO DO ANYTHING. I don't know how you got that out of my post.
It will be up to him but the major decisions as to whether or not either of us go on any type of major medication are ones we share together, especially after addiction.
My thread was to see if any of you had heard of any of these meds. not only if I do decide to bring the subject up to my Husband, insteading of waiting on him to be comfortable enough to bring it up to me, so that we'd have a little backround on what he is taking if he decides to look at meds.
We don't have a computer at home so I will be the one researching whatever meds he asks about.
REGARDLESS, of what people think, it is always necessary to research medicines before you take them because you'll know alot more about what your putting into your body instead of just poppin a pill every day.
Well...wouldn't it have been easier to not use phrases like 'my mother and I are trying to figure out what meds we'll put him on' ? and just ask: hey guys do you have experience with [insert the names of the meds here] and yes I agree, do some research on meds before mindlessly popping them.
And while I'm sure you got all reasons to worry, I can imagine your husband won't share anything with you anymore just cuz of that, it's complicated but you can break this circle starting like 'hey I care about you a lot and I respect your decisions but I worry about you as well' then sit down and take it from there. I don't feel as if I was harsh cuz others took the post in the same way but I apologize if I offended you.
