I agree that you should get a second opinion to see if you need the meds but what I've seen on this board is a lot of us having the desire for our other half's to take the meds so hopefully they will recover and come back to us so we shouldn't resist if it appears we need the meds too. I really pushed my husband to take the meds and he does but when I was offered them, I resisted. Not exactly practising what I was preaching. I did take them in the end for a few weeks but had to come off them because of the stomach bleed. The last few weeks when I did NC seemed to help me though and I felt and feel more relaxed anyway. You are very brave though and applause for going to sort this out. I hope whatever you choose for recovery will do the trick whatever it may be. Keep talking. X
