Kim,
Thanks for joining us! It does take time to work out the medication thing. Just make sure you tell your doctor exactly what you are feeling/not feeling, and any symptoms you think are caused by the meds so he/she can help "dial in" your dose and make the right adjustments.
As far as talking to your husband, I have a couple of questions for you. Is it that he is having a hard time understanding or that he doesn't want to understand. I am not saying that is a possiblity, but my next question won't really matter if he doesn't want to understand. My next question is, would you be willing for me to talk to my husband about your situation? He is wonderfully supportive for me, and he may be able to write you/your husband in this forum and maybe help him understand.
I won't say anything to him until you let me know it's ok.
Again, thanks for joining us! Looking forward to hearing from you.
Kelly
