I'm sad...

[the1bea]

Sigh.... I feel just awful. Hubby started a new med Tues. It was for his bipolar. He did not like the side effects of it and was going to stop taking it Fri. He was not able to sleep while taking it. He did not feel well Thurs. and just kinda laid around all day. He took Ambien to help him sleep around 1am fri. He slept ALL day. Which is kinda normal for him. I checked on him twice Fri just to make sure he was ok, he was ok, just sleeping. I went to bed around 11:30 pm fri and he was still sleeping. Usally when he sleeps all day like that, he gets up between 1-3am. I woke up 6am to get ready for school and he was sleeping still. I tried to wake him up because I had a final today for school and I wanted to make sure he could get up. He opened his eyes and his pupils where dialated all the way, and I could not get him to move, or to wake up. I called 911 and they took him to the hospital where he had a seizure that lasted an hour. :( :( They had to sedate him so that they could run a CT scan. 6 people could not hold him down. :( The moved him to the ICU to keep an eye on him. He is not fully awake, and is still groggy, but he can respond and talk a little bit. I feel like that this is my fault for not making him get up fri. and making sure that he was really ok. He has slept all day before, and its like dont wake the hibernating bear. I just feel like that this is all my fault. He did not OD on anything and all the tests that they ran came back normal. I dont know if there is something that does not want me to finish my schooling. Last year, I started my Massage Therapy schooling and my son became ill, I had to drop out of school because we almost lost him, and now this with the hubby. :( I am just really sad. Thanks for letting me vent. :(

Thanks everyone for the prayers and good thoughts. Last night his parents called him and he talked to them. Which is a good thing. He stayed awake enough to talk. My son really wants to see his dad, but I dont want to take my son to any ICU room. He spent enough time there last year. I still feel awful. Like it is my fault. I will be going to visit him in a few hours and see how he did overnight. Thanks again for the prayers and the good thoughts.

That's the very bad part about anti-depressants and related drugs. A doctor has no way of knowing what will work and what won't. There are no tests to determine how much or how little. And what your husband experienced is unusual but I know enough to know that it can happen.

I know people who have gone into severe reactions to the point of almost dying. I feel for your husband. I am bi-polar and regardless of what the doctors prescribe and how careful they are you always have to be on your guard for the changes that the drugs cause. I hope that they find out exactly what happened. And I hope that his doctor is involved in all of this.

I just got back from the hospital and tried to take a nap. Hubby got moved from the ICU to a reg. room. They may try PT later tonight. His dr on call is helping him try to find a med that he has not tried that will work. I have all of our fam. saying he needs to get off all of that crap. (meds) He NEEDS to be on something!!! They dont have to live with him, and they dont know what I have to put up with. I am really tired and restless right now. I think I will try to work my Arbonne business for a few minutes.

Hubby is back home. The doc wanted to keep him to make sure he is ok, his muscle enzimes were way too high for being in bed resting for so long, but hubby being the dummy that he is, told the doc that he can drink fluids and rest more comortably at home then in the hosp. So the doc agreed and sent him home. Hubby is suppost to take 1 Ambien to help him sleep at night(doc wrote that down in the chart yesterday) ,and that is what the ER thought he OD'ed on sat. when I called 911. They (ER) TOOK ALL OF HIS AMBIEN OUT OF THE BOTTLE AND GAVE ME AN EMPTY BOTTLE!!! :mad: WE just refilled the bottle 2 weeks ago, and I know medicaid will not ok a refill after that short of time. :mad: I have so much stuff to do as it is, and now I have to call his doc to see if he can get some samples till he can get his 'script refilled. :( I am just so overwelmed. :( I just wanna crawl under a rock and hide from the world. :(

[twinfawn]

((((((((((((((bea)))))))))))))))))) I hope you are able to get samples for your husband, and you are able to get some rest....You need it...........:(
