question: how do I stay strong while living with my husband of 43 years who was diagnosed with bi-polar 7 years ago. His psychiatrist increased the dose of abillify he was on 3 1/2 weeks ago. from 2 mg to 5 . WE discussed it with him previously deciding his dose should stay low.so it wouldn t increase his mild mania. Now he s not sleeping at all. Today he was the most depressed I have seen him since he was diagnosed. He needs to be able to sleep tonight. he takes 50 mg of trazadone at bedtime. I am ready to scream . Really could use a support group.
