I am so sorry, JYL. That must be horrible to have to deal with, on top of the illness.
You're trying so hard, I know with meds and therapy. I've seen amazing things happen when the right mix is found. Keep holding out for that. And try to tell your husband your mental health isn't an acceptable topic of conversation. I tend to do that with mine a lot too, though for different reasons. You don't need fear and negativity on top of everything else.
There are a lot of anti-med sites out there that will scare you senseless. You might want to run the names of the sites on the meds board and see which ones are based on real science and which on pseudo-science. I like my pdoc's approach. He says there are side effects associated with any medications, and there are side effects associated with taking no medication, and it's my choice which side effects are more tolerable.
