[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 98358"] Out of curiosity, why are they weaning him off zoloft? Are they planning on trying another antidepressant? As one who has suffered from both Major Depressive Disorder and Dysthimia, I can tell you first hand that an antidepressant has been life changing for me (that and the progestin, but I'm a girl [img]:smile:[/img] ). It took a while before I found one that worked and when I was in that scary, oppressive, severe, borderline psychotic depression NONE of them did a thing. But once I hit my baseline again (dysthimia), antidepressants have been a blessing. For the first time since I was 10, I knew what joy felt like. When I had my heart attack, I told my doctors that they better make sure whatever they gave me worked with my AD because I was NOT changing it. It took too long to find one that worked for me. As far as therapy, CBT is best for depression. He may even find EMDR to be helpful, especially if he has any anxiety. [/QUOTE]
