Sounds like you need to get back to work at least on a PT basis while the house is empty or maybe do some volunter work or find a hobby. Find something to fill that void that was created, perhaps without your knowledgable consent.
Find something to start YOUR healing process without having to depend on those Meds.
Just the opinion of an outsider looking in.
