Oh miller.. I so understand where you're coming from re your husband... mine just didn't want to understand.. I think he thought he'd married defective goods..
Then, about 6 months ago I came off effexor.. I thought I was dying.. it was awful.. I tried to call my doctor to come out who sent me to emergency psych service.. who refused to accept there was such thing as effexor withdrawal and said I had a stomach bug!! I called my husband in tears (and I very rarely cry, so atleast he took notice).. he decided to search the net for anything about it, was so shocked by how much he found... he read alot of it, and I think it made him realise that I'm not like this on purpose, and that I really was in hell..
Since then he has been so much more supprtive and understanding... its not perfect... but things are improving..
Maybe make a deal with hubby, get him to agree to 10 mins a day where you can try and tell him.. laydown on the bed or sofa, hold each other, and just say what ever is in your head about how you feel. This is osmehting we have taken to doing and its improving things dramatically.
Hang int here hun.. the slope will level out soon..
