Not sure where to post this:
My husband is currently taking medication for depression- Zoloft. I noticed today he has been in and out of mopiness. I noticed certain things aggravate him like somewhat how it was before he started the medication. Like he is starting to have a short fuse again. A few hours ago I noticed he just looked sad and was real quiet.
Sure there are other stressors in our lives and issues in our marriage but it just seemed odd all of a sudden. When I asked he was very reluctant to tell me but finally said he was feeling sad. I asked if there was a reason and he said no. I told him I was worried about him and he just said he is fine. I noticed he seemed this way last night as well. Playing his video games online with his buddies and then just out of nowhere stopped and when I asked why he said he didn't feel like talking to anyone.
I guess I'm just wondering if this is normal on this medication if anyone knows? And if I should be concerned?

It is also important to understand the medications does not make you happy 24 hours a day 7 days a week. It is not a magic pill. The medications account for about 30% and the person has to put 70% work into getting well. The meds are designed to take the edge off and allow the person to start getting well.
I hope this helps a bit.
