Here's a half-formed thought: if you think that he's going to say the same thing, maybe you need to make sure you *don't* say the same things you usually say? Does that make sense? If you change the way you approach him, it may force him to change the way you responds to you. (I'm thinking about how I finally got out of some bad ruts with my mother. {shrug} Worked with her...)
If you haven't tried Provigil, it's worth a try. For some people, it's not fun at all, but for others -- like me -- it's a good augmenting agent for antidepressants. Even on its own, it tends to boost my mood a bit. Also, it doesn't affect my sleep -- actually, strike that. I think I started sleeping a lot better when I started taking it...
Right now, for what it's worth, I'm experimenting with not taking it, because I'm way too overstimulated with Provigil and Wellbutrin, and I need the Wellbutrin. Cross your fingers for me, eh?
