Hello all,
So my husband is diagnosed with depression. He's been taking Zoloft for 6 months and has been doing pretty well. He has had to up his dose 3 times, but seems to be doing well where he is (for now). Until recently that is. He has been having some sexual side effects that only just began after his last dose increase. We are trying to have a baby, so this effects us greatly. I always try to be supportive and understanding and would never (ever!) say anything to make him feel bad, but it really bothers him, So we were discussing options. I brought up maybe if he talks to his doc and asks about going down a dose or so and adding a buffer med it might help. He immediately stops me and says "Yeah i can go down some doses". Without any further discussion (i thought he would wait till his next appt) he stopped taking his meds daily. He has had some extreme angy outbursts and whole days of rage (tho he would never hurt us...physically). I began counting his pills. 8 on wed....8 still on Sat. 7 on Sat night. 7 on Mon morning. Monday night all his pills were all cut in half...13. ?! He didn't take any last night....I don't know what to do. I don't feel like i can talk to him about it becuase i know he'll get very angry. Last time he wasn't on meds...we almost didn't make it...I don't know what to do. i'm going to ask him today if he decided anything in regards to his meds and see what he says, but oh man i am not looking forward to it. Any advice?
