You've been given a lot of good advice here, but I think it's important to remember that each person reacts to anxiety and depression, and the meds used to treat them, in his or her own way. The best thing to do is to keep an eye on your husband, and see how he adapts in the long run. If there is no improvement in the next three or four weeks, be sure to bring that up with his doctor. And of course if he starts seeming dark and moody, you should intervene right away. That's not a good place for him to be. I can tell you from my experience that the most helpful thing is the support of those who he counts on. But you can't be pushy about it, or he's likely to become defensive. I hope all the best for your husband, and for you as well. Good luck and the very best of wishes.
