My husband had a traumatic brain injury about 10 years ago. As a result his brain now acts like it is bi-polar. After many many many medication changes he is now on lexapro 20mg, risperdal 3mg 2x a day and trileptil 300mg 2 in the morning and 2 at bed time.
I don't think it is really helping. He goes through periods of being fine, then he will start getting depressed and moody and then he has his manic episodes, which he has this rage that scares me and my daughter and is very impulsive and does not care about the ramifications of his actions. All of this is tearing our marriage apart.
Is there anything I can do besides getting him back to his Dr. to help him during these times? I am so worried for him and for us, any help is appreciated.
