[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I know you've posted about this situation before.

It's still not clear why your DH can't speak with the doctor directly about these adverse reactions.  Get him to call the doctor and get advice about that.  The doctor can't go fixing someone's dosage based on a spouse's comment unless: (a) the patient themselve complains about the side effect, or (b) the patient is incapacitated and the spouse is taking full care of the patient (but more likely that patient would be in hospital).

I think the doctors are not incompetent.  They are doing their jobs.  For all they know, you could be wacko.

I know it must be hard.  But it sounds like you've been doing way too much for him already.  I had a situation like this with my mother several years ago (she was on medication, had fits of rage, had difficulty coping with basic life needs, ...).  I wrote a letter to the doctor and my mother took it along with her when she visited the doctor (on her own).  This seemed to be a great way to approach the situation because the outcome was perfect.  I would suggest doing that.[/quote]

I think this is great advice.  I would also recommend talking to your doctor or someone other professional who may have some suggestions.  While it has worked out so far for you, I'd caution using strangers from DCUM for advice on medication dosages.  There are certain meds where if you stop taking them or don't taper them properly, they have can have severe side effects. [/quote]
