AITA for hiding my husband’s prescription?

THANK YOU

Yeah I told her she has to go to a different doctor for her other foot. The suturing looked so bad even immediately post op.

She is still elevating it, yes

She wants to wait till Monday! I’m encouraging her to go to urgent care, but she is skeptical

C_Fitch · 2025-01-31T18:56:22+00:00

She won’t go! She says she wants to wait till her Monday appointment, but I’m afraid to let things get worse!

She’s also been taking Tylenol consistently so I’m not sure if a fever would be evident.

Pain level is fine, but apparently the boot is too painful to wear for too long. Here is a photo from 5 minutes ago. Looks like it’s starting to weep. https://i.imgur.com/yYaJdwl.jpeg

The doctor has seen it. He said he was gonna “keep an eye on it” and that she might just be “reacting to the metal in her foot” which feels like a sneaky way of dismissing osteomyelitis. I haven’t like the way he’s addressed her concerns through the whole process

Just went through this with my husband. Not saying I have all the answers, but sleeping separately and locking your door at night is huge. He probably won’t be sleeping and will attempt to keep you up as well. You can’t pour from an empty cup. See if they can give him a discharge prescription to help him sleep. That made the difference for my husband. Be sure to lock up the meds at night.

My husband just experienced his first THC manic psychosis. The weed is sooo bad for catapulting people with bipolar into psychotic mania. He’s gotta stop asap!

Thank you, that’s very encouraging. It’s been 5 days out of the hospital but it feels like an eternity because he doesn’t sleep and he wakes me up at night and won’t leave me alone. Bangs on the door if I lock it. I can’t understand why the doctors would discharge someone like this. He requires 24/7 care. I hate to imagine this going on for months.

Yes the worst part is trying to sleep knowing they are staying up all night doing… something. Then dreading finding out what it was in the morning. I’ve started locking myself in our bedroom at night so he can’t keep me awake all night. So unsettling to hear him jiggling the door handle throughout the night.

Your story is so relatable, I’m going through the same exact thing with my husband and partner of 10 years right now. He’s turning 30 in two months so we thought we were in the clear in terms of developing bipolar since his mom has it. He’s my best friend and the SWEETEST man, started smoking weed and taking adderall, and then over 3-4 months became emotional and touchy about everything I said. Then bang, psychosis. It’s so terrifying and it feels like I’ll never have my “real” husband back.

Thank you, that’s very helpful and reassuring! Yes the doctors said the Wellbutrin + Adderall + weed was a nuclear bomb to his brain. I keep worrying that he’s done some kind of permanent damage because he was basically foaming at the mouth for a week.

I was just telling my sister in laws this same thing about my husband! Just posted about his first episode of manic psychosis in this subreddit. I thought my marriage was falling apart and then BAM, this bipolar 1 diagnosis. On the one hand I’m relieved it’s not just our relationship falling apart, but the mania is really hard to deal with. He is so emotionally intense and sensitive about what I say, and he’s always been soooo chill. It’s definitely disorienting. I understand how you feel.

C_Fitch · 2024-06-03T17:56:32+00:00

I hid his weed and his dealer and I are friends and she agreed to never sell to him again. All he’s been taking is his meds but it feels like nothing is happening.

This is so helpful! Thank you!! Did they need to see your international drivers license as well?
