And does the Zoloft help? My doctor gave me citalopram in August and my anxiety shot through the roof and that AD really traumatized me and I went off it. I wanted diazepam and the doctor refused to give it to me. I came on this site and whimpered about not being able to get my doctor to prescribe a benzo. I had the benzo blues, haha, but got over it and now I am not taking any medications but I use herbs such as valerian, passion flower, chamomile and rhodiola. I didn't actually gain weight but I feel very draggy and bloated and horrible. I know all this discomfort sometimes drives people back to picking up smoking again, even at 9 or 10 months. That's not going to be me and that's not going to be your husband. (I don't want to be on any medications.) If the Zoloft is working for your husband than I would say he got a lucky break.
