Lithium is sometimes used in conjunction with other meds to treat depression. I guess seroquel is sometimes used in the same way, too. I don't know if they are used alone for it though.


My husband has gotten upset with me in the past for letting him sleep too late, so I started trying to wake him up at 9:30am, but he didn't get up until sometime after 11. He was hung over from Friday night (when he was obnoxious).

On my way out to Rite Aide to buy hair color and magnesium citrate, I asked him if he needed anything, and he asked me to buy beer (the liquor store is next door). He wouldn't go with me, and I reluctantly broke my self-imposed rule of not buying alcohol.

The football game started at 1pm, and despite my pleas not to, he started drinking at kickoff. I kept asking him to slow down, but he wouldn't. He was obnoxious by halftime, and passed out by 5pm. I was bull****.

I didn't enjoy the game because he was too drunk to know what was going on, but he was yelling and swearing at the TV anyway. He didn't know who had the ball half the time.

If I didn't buy him the beer, he wouldn't have started drinking as early, but it would have started a huge fight. He would have paused the game at some point, and gone out to the liquor store himself anyway. I should have postponed my trip to the drugstore, but I wanted to be home before the game started.

I knew he wouldn't wake up, so making dinner was a waste of my time. I ordered a pizza and tried to wake him up a few times to get him to eat something to no avail.


I woke up to his alarm at 3:30 this morning and couldn't go back to sleep. He was in the bathroom when I went into the living room to take a klonopin and an antacid to help me get back to sleep. I forgot to put on a shirt and the binds were open a little lol. He came out of the bathroom, and asked me what I was doing, and seemed ******… ? Oh well.

I was able to get 3 more hours sleep. 10:30pm-6:30am… not bad at all.

I'm sure when he comes home he's going to be convinced I was being a ***** last night. He has a hard time accepting it's a reaction to his behavior. I don't drink anymore, which makes his behavior during these episodes far less attractive, and I have less patience to deal with it.
