I have posted recently on here and AIBU about my depressed DH. To cut a long story short he has been started on a mood stabiliser now as it looks extremely likely that is bipolar. I don't quite know how I could have missed the signs all these years. 3 weeks ago he couldn't get out of bed and was on the brink of suicide. He switched in a day to leaping about the kitchen, not sleeping, elated and full of plans and enthusiasm. The kids are wondering what the bloody hell is wrong with Dad!
We are relieved to finally have a diagnosis and to get him on the right medication. He is pretty high still but stable for now. Not sleeping though at night without a sleeping tablet, which is a bit of a concern.
Not sure why I am posting this to be honest. Its been a rollercoaster of a couple of years and I feel I am so unsure what will happen over the next few weeks.
He is on 200 mg Quetiapine, I am not sure if he should be completely neutral in mood by now or whether being a bit high is ok? Does anyone know what we should be aiming for?
