[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 280092, member: 84"] I don't know if you've thought of it, but it might be a good idea to get husband into the fam doctor for a check up. Make sure things are ok there before assuming it's depression due to history. Vitamen deficiencies, hormone changes can alter behavior as well, not to mention high blood pressure and other things. My husband is a surly man with no umph. He's also 61 but he's been this way for many many years. He took trazadone due to a surgery once. The change in him was nearly immediate and drastic. OMG It was wonderful. No more surly. The guy could laugh and smile and joke and MOVE. lol I could actually tolerate living with him. BUT (there is always a but lol) husband hasn't taken it in about 2 yrs. I can't seem to get him to get his fanny back to the doctor either. And I know in his case high b/p and hormones are also a factor. So we're back to surly and no umph.:knockedout: Sorry. I know I wasn't of much help. Just mostly wanted to let you know you're not alone. Hugs [/QUOTE]
