If coming of anti depressives it is and isnt easy it depends on the person on them. l took 2 yrs to wean mum off when she wanted to come off slowly it can be done a lot lot faster same routine just for her slowed down to a slow crawl so don't let the time put you off as with everything each person is different
I contacted FRANK this link may help they cover all drugs legal and legal

If you want more info message me l won't post it on open forum. Should warn that it may have changed but the withdraw info cost £12 sadly l don't have it now or would have sent it on. Most of it was very similar routine but should to be followed pretty straightforward but sensible. Whatever happens do not just stop them as our pratt of a dr said to do. He was shocked when l read him the riot act stormed out and went back after contacting FRANK and slammed the info down in front of him a couple of weeks later.
I absolutely agree.... . . . you can only worry about things that you have control over or influence or change – if you can’t change it you need to ditch the worry or at least park it to one side.
You've hit the nail on the head and it's important that you look after your own health. You've obviously developed your own strategies for doing that and that's great.
At least by knowing that this forum is here, and there are three other forums that I pop into now and again, you will know that there are ways for diabetics to improve their health and their outcomes. I wish you all the very best. BTW The nurse is wrong to suggest that you don't have to measure your BG, very wrong.

You are effectively going to end up being an unpaid Carer in the end to your partner unless HE does something to help himself.
They will not operate on the levels that your are mentioning.
Please seriously give some thought to your life, what you need. Can you not get partner interested in joining this site?
I end up wanting to write in full, bold shouting text .......you deserve better.
Glad to hear Molly56.. My concern is (reading through the lines) that previous posting you sounded quite down by the disappearance of your secret stash of biscuits.
Asking a struggling diabetic to go without but having a stash of biscuits for yourself is a little bit cruel I think. Could you eat them at work? Sorry, sometimes partners have to go the extra mile to help a diabetic that is struggling....
Hello Molly56, it has been a short while since we posted, I have looked out for you but, not spotted you. I have read the posts from page 12, to now. You are still going over and beyond for him indoors! when do you think you can 'trust' him to be in total control of His condition??? so that you can step back and rest. You have mentioned amitriptyline, going through some re-regulation and stopping being an antidepression medication, I always knew it as a sleep inducing tablet, which was totally unsuitable for me, Imipramine is one that stimulates you and don't go to sleep with this one (7 a day).
Are you still looking forward to your holiday? I noticed that you mentioned a worry about the sun with a medication. Did he ever get himself organised with my suggestion back a few months ago?, I noticed that his testing results are still high than were they could be.
Maybe now that he seem s to be getting on his own case and getting in the learning groove, you will be more relaxed and could stop worrying, a bit/lot more, ??.Please keep posting and will be here for a chat when you want,ttfn
@Scouser58 ....thanks for reply....will check it out in the morning....Hi Molly, I did a bit of back reading and the post that I was referring to was on 13 July page 3 post #54 (you can find this number next to the Like Reply points), I will call it Tough Love, especially the last paragraph. And if you go forward through the posts you will find some interesting, and thought provoking replies. May I suggest that you print the pages off so that you can see just how things have gone along, and review how you felt from the start.
I discovered that your stresses have gone from off the chart to lower in power, although you are still worrying about every aspect of him in doors' condition and his own lack of concern about it.
I read you concern about being all inclusive in the Caribbean resort, a certain man over doing it with all that is available to him, although you clearly enjoyed having the choice and how well you ate for your own benefit. Looking forward to hearing from you soon, ttfn
Hi Molly56, Just read your post and you have still got your work cut out looking after him in doors, well the bit about the knee and hip, you might find that these are two different ortho pods, ask knee doc's don't always do hips, something to do with different shaped bones and joint actions!!.
Nice to read that he is stepping up with diabetes monitoring,
The vitamin checking is on the back burner for now, will be looking into these to be checked for myself, I am some what crocked.
Well you 'sounded' so much more relaxed in you post, well done to that woman, now to the packing I hate that job, so much to do, but what to take is another headache!!!
Keep in touch Molly, and look forward to the holiday, you have more than earned it, ttfn
Great to hear @Molly56Do think, if he can do things on your holiday.... He could do them at home.. So if he goes without his afternoon kip on holiday because he is more entertained then his apathy is going to be around having no interests at home. Don't mention on your holiday though... Just bear it in mind.....
