Question by inthemiddleofnowhere: drugs. doctors. confusion!?
Hey there, My question is involving my husband more than myself, He has used paxil and adderall off and on for the last 8 years of his life, went off of it the last two years because he was traveling and just didnt bother with it. He is now back in the states and working a steady job as well as trying to attend school in the evenings. We have two little girls, and well basically without those two drugs he is no help at all just a fumbling mess. We have just moved into the town we live in and we havent established a family dr for us yet, just for our girls. So what i need to know is, When i get ready to schedule him an appt. what kind of dr do i need to be looking for? He gets only one full day off of work every month, so It would be convienent if he could get everything taken care of in one day rather than go to someone for a reference and then wait another month to go to another dr. Im just not knowledgable abotu these things, but he does need to get this taken care of.
oy. so some more clarification. He was off the medicine for two years, but he was very depressed, anxious and nearly tore our family apart. As far as his job goes, he loves his job, it makes a lot of money and he isnt looking for another one. the problems that he has are purely of being too worried and anxious and unable to focus. He has this job and doesnt want to lose it, but he freaks out at every little mistake he makes, school is also a whole other thing. Its hard on me as well, being that I am also working full time and then comnig home to what sometimes seems like 2 children instead of one. I want the person back who i knew was capable and able to be part of our family. this is his choice to seek help again and to medicate. My question wasnt what is wrong with my husband and what should we do, it was what is the best thing we can do when he have no drs records really and are new to town. thanks.
i meant 3 children instead of 2. gosh im all worked up now! haha

I know that ‘the shakes’, or delirium tremens, is what happens as a result of withdrawal from alcohol but what’s it called when you drink so much that you start to shake? What is it called if someone’s exhibits DT symptoms from drinking TOO MUCH as opposed to stopping.

Please, don’t bother preaching & trying to pass it off as an ‘answer’.
