I wrote a long message and it disappeared. Perhaps just as well. In a nutshell, my brother in law fits the bill for BPD and has negatively affected my mentally ill sister and nephews since my sister married him. He is an alcoholic who stopped because my sister threatened him with a restraining order and yet he won't go to AA or any other therapy to address his terrible personality issues. Although my nephews and sister go to therapy and take medication he doesn't and he makes their lives worse. I don't want my nephew in the hospital a 4th time before he's 19. How in the hell do you get the jerk to go to therapy or preferably a psychiatrist to get diagnosis? Or rather accept that he has a problem? I won't get into all of the bad things he's done or not done, but he's ruining my sister and nephew's lives. Bipolar 1, Simple Partial Seizures, and migraines
Psychiatric meds:
Lithium ER (900 mg)*Tegretol XR (1400 mg)*Lamictal (100 mg)*Geodon (160 mg)*Navane (5 mg)*Seroquel XR (100 mg)*Klonopin (.5 mg)
Ativan 1 mg "as needed" (I rarely take it.)*Seroquel regular 50 mg "as needed" (Only if I'm getting elevated.)
Other meds:
Propranolol (40 mg)*Levothyroxine (150 mcg)
My mix is side effect friendly for me.
