Newly medicated behaviour/personality change
My partner (33M) formally dx for 3 years started medication about 6 weeks ago. We've been together 6 years.
In the last couple of weeks there has significant behaviour/personality changes.
He has been a lot calmer, more attentive, more emotionally regulated. Seems to be struggling less with executive functioning (ease of doing chores/non preffered tasks has increased).
But he has also been talking a lot about regrets and apologising to me about not being as attentive, invested and present as he should have been throughout our relationship. A lot of thanking me for sticking by him and saying that he wished he'd realised how much he'd been missing out on me and us sooner.
He's always cared and he's always been kind, and he's always tried. It just seemed very hard and overwhelming for him. Like he was trying so so hard and still coming up short. But in the last couple of weeks its changed.
He's also been planning more activities for us to do, being very attentive to my needs, feelings, menstural cycle etc., doing more smaller things to let me know I'm loved. Genuinely realising how his words and actions are affecting me - not always getting it right, but paying more attention when he doesn't.
But I am uncertain? Uncomfortable almost some of the time. Like having him say and do things that I have wanted for years is making me a bit wary.
I guess I'm wanting to know if other people have been through this? I'm sort of just expecting it to all stop as sudden as it started almost. Have other people experienced what feel like drastic changes when there partner is medicated?
I'm not sure if I used the right flair. I'm not sure who else to talk to about this unease. I have spoken to him. And he's realistic about it. He hopes that this "clarity" stays and is afraid of losing it again. He says he understands why I'm wary.
EDIT: I will get to everyone's comments in a couple of days. I don't have the time to give people answers the attention they deserve until after the weekend. Thank you everyone for your input so far
