John woke at 3.30am, and started storming round the bedroom looking for something, shouting and swearing and throwing things around. Then he went to the kitchen, opened the back door, letting the dogs out and he followed them (in the nude). I eventually persuaded him to come in, but he wouldn't come back to bed. Still shouting 'I'm b----- going home', 'I'm not doing what you b----- say'. He started to get dressed but could only find his underpants, socks and shoes and hat - still stamping round the house and shouting. I was terrified and tried to stay in bed some of the time wondering what to do and who to contact. He kept storming into the bedroom and throwing his hat or jacket at me. This went on for an hour and a half, then at 5 o'clock he sat in the kitchen stroking the dogs and I ventured to go and make him a cup of tea. After that he agreed to go to bed, but still had his angry head on throwing his clothes on the floor.
This morning when he woke, his shoulders and arms kept shaking violently so I kept him in bed and rang the doctor, who askled for a urine sample.
To cut a long story short, the urine sample was negative, so the doctor visited at lunch time and checked John over. John was still quite angry although the shaking had stopped. He was hitting himself on the head (something he does in the shower). So the doctor has put him on Mirtazapine to calm him down. Does anybody know anything about it? I understand it could take a couple of weeks to be fully effective.
So I will see what tonight brings, hopefully he will be so tired he will sleep all night, but he's shown no sign of being tired during the day even after a long walk with the dogs this afternoon.
I know that I could do with a good night's sleep I feel as though I am living on a knife edge.
Sorry to ramble on but I know I can share these experiences with TP.
