He is going to weekly counseling sessions to his own psychologist and he's made various other changes, but now that a new medication is being introduced I am fearful that it will upset the balance we are working so hard to get back.
I was on anti depressants for decades.
Many G.Ps know very little about them and tend to experiment.
Trazadone is not available here; think it can cause priapism.
My last anti depressant (Moclobemide) raised my liver enzymes.
Suggest you get a second medical opinion, there can be all kinds of interactions.
