For anyone who didn't read on Saturday, this here's the original
I spent all day Sunday trying to talk her into seeing a different doctor. She was in that phase where the best I can describe it is the medications "hit" at different times and she was next to impossible to talk to. I followed the advise of most of the sub to suggest we talk to another doctor and I even tried to show her the thread to see if maybe she didn't take my word for it, everyone else would be able to convince her.
I don't know what happened Sunday, maybe she got mediations confused or they just didn't mix well but she was up all night Sunday/Monday like in a manic cleaning session and maybe every 30 minutes she'd wake me up and quiz me on the things like spots on dishes or why I hadn't vacuumed the pollen off the back porch. Finally I had it with her and told her to go to fucking sleep and she started crying uncontrollably. I put her to bed. She got up at her normal time but I knew she wasn't rested but she went to work anyways.
I need to be very careful here and I can't describe everything because of legal stuff but she apparenty fell asleep at the wheel and not only hurt herself badly but also some other people (I can't say exactly who but just to let it sink in how awful the situation there was a wide "range" of ages in the several vehicles she hit).
I am beside myself with grief, guilt, you name it that I didn't step in a drag her to the ER during so many of her wild erratic behavior. The ER doctor looked at her list of medications and he actually had to call a pharmacology expert in another state because he wanted to be sure on how he even could treat her pain from the accident and what to do about the medications she was on already so this prolonged my wife's pain management because every doctor in the ER was just stumped as to how to even handle it. The doctors wouldn't say much but the nurse said to me that there's no way her psychiatrist makes it through this with his practice and license intact and he's going to get sued by our insurance, the other people's insurance are going to go after him like crazy.
I am devastated. My wife is in and out of coherent behavior and she still doesn't quite realize what happened and the hospital says to go easy on telling her so we dont' send her into shock. There aren't any chances of her not walking again or anything like that but she is probably going to have severe pain for the rest of her life.
All I can say is please, if your loved one is in a situation like mine please don't wait to get help.
tl;dr: update to a post about my wife getting a ton of medications to counter her depression and side effects. She fell asleep at the wheel on Monday morning and caused a very serious accident and hurt herself and several other people. Please speak up if don't be afraid to speak up if your loved ones are in the situation my wife was in"
