Not necessarily.  It depends on why he's on them.  If he's just depressed, then no big deal.  You should worry if he has something like Bi-Polar disorder or Schizophrenia.  Find out what he's taking them for, then do a little research.  He's probably fine, though.  Good Luck!

I think by posting on here, you pretty much know what you should do, but are really scared to do it. If your fiance is taking your pills, he obviously has a really bad problem. If you really love him and don't want to leave him, then try to help him get into a program, and if he doesn't do it, then leave him. But if he is willing to ignore your pain over his like that, then he may not be the person you want to spend the rest of your life with.

I think there might be some mental disturbance. Both of you need to see doctors, it happens sometimes in such relationships, as you would admit its kinda different then normal. More over are you sure you are completely healthy?

Hello..The depression is a serious condition and i will suggest you to visit a psychiatrist. I am so sorry for your loss..Take my condolences,but you have to proceed to live.Would you think that your unkle will like to see you sad and suffering? No..There are really working great SSRI antidepressants(like Sertraline,Paroxetine etc.) and they are prescribed only by a specialist.If you feel also anxiety He/She may may add some temporary tranquilizer..Good luck!!

Anti depressants do affect your drive but you ultimately control whether or not you orgasm. You may have some things on your mind that are not obvious to you and it may be unconsciously affecting your sex life. Keep on trying and tell your boyfriend to be patient with you. Try to relax for a few days and give it a try again.\nTime is a great healer!

I think that you need to talk to your doctor and have him change the type of medication or the dosage because it sounds to me that you are still having manic/depressive episodes. My best friend went through this for months and they found out the medication was conflicting with other meds and they were just not effective. If nothing else get a second opinion!

I would go to the doctors and get a full physical and if he doesnt find anything then you know that you are ok. If you have presistant worries then you might need to see a mental health doctor

I hope that you discontinued this medication under a doctors supervision. You should never just stop taking an antidepressant without telling your doctor, you can have all sorts of problems; this applies to some other prescriptions medications also. In any case, you should be telling your doctor these symptoms and not asking people on Yahoo Answers. I can tell you that even if you get some good advice you will get a lot of bad advice also, and how will be able to tell which is which?

Whatever happens don't give up faith for him to stop!\nGod will be there for him if he has the will power to stop.\nSay a prayer for him and I will too.\nWhen he's depressed or anxiety ridden, do something that will take his mind off of it. Try going for a walk somewhere nice. A park where flowers are in bloom, pretty sites to see, or do something that he enjoys. Just renting a funny movie sometimes is enough to get a laugh out of some one that feeling down. Even that's something.\n\nP.S. The above abuser Tweaka30 has been turned in. There was no reason for that kind of remark.\nI'm even sorry that he said that. Some people are beyond immaturity!!\n\nGood luck to you with your boyfriends issues.   \nSmileyCat : )

If you is on Effexor you is getting help for depression. Go back to your GP and tell him/her what you wrote here and they will get you PROPER help

You need to talk to him.  Let him know how you're feeling.  Sometimes our spouses don't read our minds even when we think they should.  It doesn't make them insensitive just not perfect.  He may not realize your depression or the level of it.  If you're able to tell us you're depressed then TELL HIM.  Men and women have a different makeup and we don't understand each other most of the time.  Sometimes communication helps in understanding.  Just try to tell him how you're feeling.  ((((HUGS))))  Sorry for you loss.

If you do go to see a doctor watch out they like to prescribe antidepressants for everything now. You go to see a medical doctor and windup seeing a psychologist.

don't look for a diagnosis, just some practical ways to address your issues..\n\nsome good questions to ask are, how will (s)he AND you know when progress is being made- how will you evaluate the work you are doing together,\n\nwhat trreatment options you have (meds or no meds or combination ...  on-going psychiatry, or maybe your needs are better served by a psychologist, or other kind of counselor, does it make sense to involve others in treatment (it's often very helpful to involve your partner or other family members)\n\nhow long (s)he think you will require professional help...\n\nand any other questions you might have, don't hesitate to ask...  don't hold back because you're unsure if your questions are appropriate or not, (s)he will let you know...\n\ngood luck~

I THINK HE IS JUST BUSY AND YOU SHOULD DEAL WITH IT LIKE I DID (AND STILL ARE) WITH MY BOYFRIEND. IT IS NORMAL, DON'T WORRY
