Hospitalization?

Ok, another question... Has anyone here been hospitalized when you weren't suicidal or delusional? Right now I'm on Lamictal, Abilify, Zoloft, Ambien, and Xanax. As I mentioned in my other post, pdoc recently tried to switch me from Zoloft to Wellbutrin and it didn't go well. I've been very lethargic and apathetic for at least three months. I can't seem to shake it. I keep waiting for the Zoloft to work but in the meantime things are not good. I'm not suicidal (thank goodness), but I can't seem to do anything. My house is a disaster, I don't want to bathe, I keep missing work, and I'm not interested in any of my hobbies. DH seems to want me to "snap out of it." We've only been married a few years. I was manic when we met (before being dx'd). He's never really seen a long-term depression. Anyhow, a hospital is sounding very much like a welcome respite at the moment. I know a lot of people here have been there and didn't like it. I don't want to go if its all that horrible. Maybe I could go just for a week or so. Any thoughts?

Morgaine,


While hospitalization seems a rational response to your realizing you are going downhill, I don't know if they would admit you without you being suicidal/homicidal.
