Ok. Backstory. I've been with my husband for 10 years. 6 of those years were some of the worst because he was addicted to xanax and vicodin...even overdosed multiple times. Still I chose to stay because I loved him and plus we had our daughter. He got clean and that was that...has been for 4 years. The past 6 months have been awful. And when I say awful, I mean unbearable. We moved to his home state, he hasn't been able to find a job, I started working (just minimum wage)and I'm BARELY able to keep us afloat. We are drowning.

Anyway, last week, I got him to go to a doctor. I explained as did he to the doctor about his mood, his fits of rage and how mean he is and his overall depression. We both agreed he would go to see his doctor because our marriage is at the breaking point.

Well she prescribed him 100 mg of seroquel. Which she said to take at night as it will make him drowsy and that it would likely take 4 weeks to fully be in his system. Which ok cool. But to take the edge off until then, she prescribed him 30 days of .5 Ativan. A benzo. I was so reluctant. She said it was only for the 30 days, and after that, that was it. He's had them a week...he has 26 left...hes to take 2 a day so he's already abusing them. Along with that, he's using the seroquel as like a "fast acting" type of pill. We got into a huge arguement, and he took it at 4 p.m. he said to "calm him". I'm like, that's not how she said to take it, just like the ativan. Then he got even more mad for me counting his pills.

He said I was criticizing him for taking the medication and he's never going to get better as long as I am. I came home from work yesterday and he was sleeping while my 5 year old was basically watching herself.

I dont believe I'm criticizing him when I'm telling him he isnt taking the medication right. And furthermore it's not been an ample amount of time...should I call the doctor? It's his mental health, but its messing with mine too... any suggestions...especially if im wrong are welcome.
