What I am wondering about is his great mood swings now that he is at home the 2. week. He seemed to have done better the first week at home. Now he gets often very angry, yells and me, then he is sad to almost tears and so on. I wonder if this has to do with the medication he is taking? He went to his regular GP and ask him for valium and change the vicatin pain pills which kept him up all night back the preceset. He is also taking prosac and lopressor blood presure medications. Is there anyone to give me some advice as what to do about that or if my concerns are not valid. I am falling apart trying to take care of him at the moment, Carla Hello, my name is Carla and my spouse has just undergone a triple bypass surgery on June 2. of this moth.
