My doctor put me on Lamictal which seems to work well. However, one side effect is what they call "essential tremors" meaning for me when I write I look like I'm writing with my left hand (I'm right handed). So he has me taking 1-2 Propanalol each morning with the Lamictal and it works like a charm. I'm so grateful for a good Psychiatrist and Psychologist. Since I have moved 3-1/2 hours from where I used to live (don't ask .... it was hell to move), I do drive up once a month to see my therapist ..... I'd seen him for 12 years, through the times when I was in the hospital, going through my divorce (from a Narcissist), and everything else that life throws at you. So, even though I only see him once a month, it's sort of a tune-up.

You have my deepest sympathy of being married (or tied) to a narcissist. That spells deep trouble even without a condition. Glad your getting away at least from a legal standpoint.
