Sounds like you know what's coming and know the only way to stop it is through hospitalization, so maybe that's a place to start? Maybe you can look at your alternatives. See if there's somehting you haven't tried before, something completely different to try.What is it that made your wife get better more quickly? Why do you think you're bent on self destruction - I'm not criticizing, I think I'm just asking about what you've stated. I only want to try to understand. What does your wife think is the reason, and does she have any ideas about what would help? *You know a lot of the SI sites (self injury)* say ppl do the self destructive stuff to kind of snap themselves back into reality, to feel what they can't seem to feel w/o si. (when i was a teen, it was purely anger for me, so i don't know)
Does your wife see a different pdoc? Is your current pdoc good, does he understand, is he helping? What are his ideas? Has he suggested anything different. Have you considered getting a brain scan, like at the Amen Clinic?
www.brainplace.com Maybe the meds you're on are targeting the wrong part of the brain?Have you visited the forums on crazy meds?

It's not only for meds, but to discuss different stuff like what's going on, diagnosis, novel treatment....stuff like that.
I know you said you're drinking less now, but have you tried AA? My dad was an alcoholic all his life, never got over it, and I don't want to see anyone go through that. I know you've probably tried a million diff. things, but keep trying. I can't imagine anything more diff. than getting off an addictive substance - so I'm pulling for you.
It is good you're having the eye surgery. Take good care of yourself, esp. afterwards when you have to be esp. careful. Maybe this will be a new beginning. Wish I had more to offer, wish I could say something profound that would make a diff.
