My husband with sz in a sea of negative symptoms

Negative symptoms can deaden so many things. Please don’t leave him for negative symptoms.

I have a very deep swing in to the negative… the flatness… the monotone… the lack of expression… I’m still in there… under that block of wax… clawing to get out… but my brain wouldn’t let me.

I did still love… I did still feel… but had no way to express it… This illness and for a while… a too high dose of Seroquel made my life rust brown.

A med switch bought me out of it… The Seroquel got cut WAY back and Latuda got added and with therapy… that pulled me out of my negative symptoms.

As far as sex… Some meds come with a heavy punch of sexual dysfunction. I’m sure he loves you… but the meds we have can affect us as much as the illness.

Good luck and I’m hoping the best for both of you…

If your frustrated about this situation…

I’d say NAMI might be able to help… finding other people in your area who go through the same exact thing… it’s very helpful to find… your not alone.

They have a chapter in almost every town it seems.
