[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]About three years ago, two things happened. My husband stopped drinking and started adderall. Since then, he has withdrawn from our marriage and seems to actively dislike me. He seems suspicious of me, always thinks the worst of me, doesn’t want to spend time with me or have anything to do with me, gets mad very quickly and yells says disrespectful things to me. Any ideas on how I could turn things around?

Sometimes people drink so they can go sleep.  That kind of habitual drinking can be addictive for some or serve as a fotm of self-medication.

For some, difficulty going to sleep at nigh can be a sign of depression, particularly bipolar depression.

Some people with Bipolar Depression Type 2 have hypomania that is misdiagnosed as ADHD Hyperactive.  ADHD patients are often put on stimulant drugs that make bipolar hypomania worse. This stimulant-driven hypomania is often a dysphoric mania that makes the patient irritable, aggressive, angry or restless instead of a “euphoric” hypomania which is typically happy and energetic.

Your DH may be misdiagnosed and placed on the wrong drug.  If he is AdHD, there are other non-stimulant ADHD meds to try. If he is bipolar, he shouldn’t be taking an anti-depressant - rather, a mood stabilizer.

Sometimes people who appear to have an alcohol abuse problem are using alcohol to self-medicate mental illness.  Read up on “dual diagnosis”.  Sometimes it is easier to quit drinking when properly medicated.

Maybe you and your DH can go back and consult with the prescribing psychiatrist and let him know it might be time to reconsider if this is the right medicine.  [/quote]
