As punishment, my husband is making me take pills for hyperactivity and I don't want to?

Question

He is upset at some things i did lately like bring the talking winnie the pooh bear to bed the other night and also jumping on his lap really hard while i was running from the kitchen. He took me to the doctor today and they prescribed pills for me but I don't want to take them. Do you think this is fair?? I think I am cute the way I am. My husband says it is only supposed to be temporary until I can learn to calm down myself but aren't these drugs addicting? Thanks for help.

Answer 1

Sorry, you sound like my children. That's not attractive. You say as "punishment"? Sounds like you're the daughter and he's the dad. Your relationship grosses me out.

Answer 2

WOW... just don't take them - tell him you don't want to take them and if he can't live with that then....... well thats up to you

I had to take that stuff growing up and I think that it does no good at all other than mess you up worse

And I was really tested for ADHD, not like they do now when they say Hmmm. acting up MUST be ADD.

tell them to shove it, if you can accept yourself then he should accept you, if he cannot accept you then you should rethink the relationship

Answer 3

lol

Answer 4

It doesn't sound like a healthy "husband/wife" relationship at all.  He sound very controlling and you sound like you like being a doormat.

Both of you should seek help

Answer 5

I hope you're kidding. You're an adult and cannot be compelled to take any medication against your will, especially nothing prescribed for "punitive" measures. That being said, I can laugh off the Winnie the Pooh bear but jumping forcefully into a man's lap is just plain cruel...(trust me, no one is THAT cute!) I still think you're kidding, so touche...this was amusing. Have a nice day.

Answer 6

Thats a bit controlling isnt it?

Maybe you like whinnie the pooh!

Answer 7

Just try to chill yourself out. When you think about doing something "Cute", it's probably something annoying... Also, he probably thinks it's just really immature. Just think twice before you do some of these "cute" things.

Because I can say at 16 (what people would call immature) I would even find that **** annoying, no offence...

EDIT: But, he shouldn't be making you take anything, he shouldn't MAKE you do anything, this is 2008, not the 1700's...

Answer 8

You are an adult. Consult privately with your doctor and follow his/her advice.

Answer 9

This sounds like a parent and not a husband.  How old are you?  When does he think you will grow out of this behavior?  He married you the way you are for better or worse.  If you do not want to take pills then don't.  He can't "punish" you.  

You may be a acquired taste to some people but I can think of a lot worse things, like being a control freak or a stick in the mud.

Good Luck

Answer 10

HES TREATING YOU LIKE A CHILD DONT LET HIM

Answer 11

OMJ your really gonna take those pills because your hyper? h**l no! tell him that you are the way you are! and he should love you as you are.. s***w those pills..

Answer 12

I think that you and your husband have problems...why he has taken you to the doc?excuse me but what you have done is not a behavior problem...you just were excited...and about the bear...what is wrong with it...something funny...only if you were hiding some info about your behavior and what really has happenned here then he should take you to a doc, to talk and analize your situation...and to find out why you were doing some things.in my opinion I would say that your husband is wrong  and GL? if there is nothing else that you haven't told us here....what kind of husband takes a wife to the doc because she shows some emotion? think about it and how old are you?are you not from this country?

Answer 13

Ok...so you're a grown woman and your husband is FORCING you to take hyperactivity pills?  It's not ok!  And not for the fact that they can be addicting.  It's because your husband is treating you like a child.  If he has an issue with your personality, he should have had enough sense and respect for you to tell you to just try to calm down some because what you do freaks him out and turns him off.  But to not talk to you at all and to take you to the doctor so you can be sedated is ridiculous.  Maybe you don't act your age, but he doesn't either.  He needs to tell you how he feels instead of putting you on drugs like you're an unmanageable little kid.  

Answer 14

You both need help

Answer 15

Don't take the pills. Sounds like you need a person that can let you be the way you are. Don't let anybody tell you that you need to calm down

or that you need to take pills to do so. Hopefully you'll calm down the older you get. I still act kinda childish and I'm 45 years old.

Answer 16

Well if your husband can't handle you then maybe he shouldn't have married you. What an a*****e. I'm sorry he just sounds like a real jerk. I would say don't take them. Why should you have to change for him. Maybe take some time away from him. Make him learn what life is like without you. He should have known that you were going to be like that when he married you. Just because he can't handle it doesn't mean he can put you on all these drugs to make the problem disappear. And I personally wouldn't take anything like that. They make you all depressed and not fun. It's very boring. Believe me I had to take them before I got off of them. They suck

Answer 17

Listen to the doctor. They're usually smart.

Answer 18

Engaged and underage.

Answer 19

OMG

You both need therapy~

Answer 20

First of all, don't do anything you do not want to do.  Just because you're married doesn't mean you can't be your own person.  Secondly, the best thing to do is to speak to a doctor about these type of pills and how they may affect YOUR body.  Thirdly, there's nothing wrong with acting a little unusual if its harmless : )

Answer 21

wel maybe you do need them, but as a person over the age of 18, he cannot make you....not physically without breaking the law.

Answer 22

A talking Winnie the Pooh bear in bed? Running and jumping on your husbands lap? It doesn't sound cute to me, my husband would be pissed if I did that stuff. How old are you?

I am in complete agreement with RNsoon!

Answer 23

You shouldn't have to medicate yourself to change for ANYONE. It sounds like you have a charming and fun personality - why are you with someone who doesn't appreciate it?

Answer 24

sounds more like you need extensive in-patient treatment

Answer 25

your husband is a total douche, leave him. You are fine the way you are, pills will just mess with your brain chemistry and make you a zombie.  

Answer 26

Did you express this to the doctor, that you don't want to take them?

Why is your husband and your doctor "controlling" your life?

If he didn't like the way that you are why did he become your husband?

No, it isn't fair or right for that matter.

Sit down with your husband and tell him your not taking these, and if insitance is on the fact that "something is wrong with you" then you will pick out your own doctor to see what the issue is.

Answer 27

First, he cannot MAKE you take anything!  You, assumably, are an adult over 18 years old and have the right to do as you wish.

Second, you may be a bit over-zealous in your actions-but that is what makes you who you are!  And that is the woman he married!!

Third, he sounds very controlling.  Be careful- that is something you need to be aware of and nip in the bud now.

Fourth, did you speak for yourself at the Dr. visit, or did he speak for you??

IMO, don't take the meds.  Have a long talk w/ your hubby about this, and get marriage counseling.

I hope I've helped you!  Good luck to you!

Answer 28

I don't think you should be forced to take any pills that you aren't comfortable taking.

If you're just hyper, and just being cute (sometimes I have sudden bursts of energy, too, and feel the need to do random silly things...)...then that's just a part of your make up. No need for doctor intervention here.  

Answer 29

sounds like he is treating you like a little child.

Answer 30

This sounds like something a brother and sister would be complaining about when they are about 12 years old,lol
