I spoke to my father about it all, and he is convinced also that this is serious and he is going to attempt to tell him that he doesn't seem himself and he should ask his doc to step him off of it completely. I feel like I've ran out of emotional steam to fix this. We got in a small argument last night, and he slept on the couch.....this is something he has never done! Even when we have been mad/screaming fits, we still resolved it enough to lay in bed together. This is becoming overwhelming.

Granted, you husband sounds like he's certainly on the wrong medication. Is he also, in talk-therapy? Meds alone won't resolve any depression symptoms, usually, that's a general rule of thumb.
I appreciate, that doctors cannot discuss patients information with others. It's acceptable to call and voice concerns, however.
I like, your father's approach, of mentioning, that he doesn't seem himself, since Zoloft and this long distance job opportunity.
Hope all goes well
