[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can't you pay the Xanax out of pocket?[/quote]

Yes, we could afford it, but DH would have to call the Dr and get the prescription, which he is unwilling to do.

Part of our issue is that DH doesn't want my help. He says he wants me to support him, but for him that means just trusting whatever decision his impaired mind makes. He will not let me engage his doctor or accompany him to appointments. He refuses my suggestion of inpatient care. He and I both know I can call 911 and have him committed at any time but it's the nuclear option. I can see that the thought of being forcibly taken from our home is terrifying to him. I also strongly believe he would simply deny that he is suicidal if the police showed up.[/quote]

Does your husband have a therapist and/or psychiatrist, OP? Or just a general MD prescribing his Xanax? [/quote]

He started seeing a therapist 5 weeks ago and I guess this week also saw a psychiatrist. But he doesn't share the details with me so that's just my best guess. [/quote]
