Has Zoloft done anything for him? If not, there are other antidepressants and other medications that are used "outside" of what they are intended to help with this kind of thing.

Hi Merry,
It helps him to. Even out his moods. He cried and cried before he took. He still gets angry and yells but mot as much.
Thanks for the info. I do a lot of deflecting, redirecting. And I just pick up after him like a child. I dont say anything. It doesnt do any good I have realized. Drawers r open in kitchen. Cupboards are open.
He says any drug he tales is mind altering. His dr. Tells him every visit that zoloft is not. But he forgets.

Zoloft has really helped my husband. And Prozac has helped ME! 😊
