[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We recently had a young child and my wife has been going through some issues and her Gyno recommended that she take Zoloft. She has refused to take it and I think that this is putting a toll on our marriage,  because I don't think she can handle being a stay at home mother just yet. I have respected her decision not to take it but I feel as if she needs it for something else. Should I set up an appointment for therapy?[/quote]

Zoloft is a medication that a psychiatrist should prescribe, not a gyno. He can recommend that it could be useful to see a psychiatrist if he thinks it's warranted, but he's not an expert in mental illness and doesn't get to make that prescription. Your wife is quite right not to take a psychotropic medication without a specialist having OK-ed it.

And for the love of all that's holy, make sure she is prescribed a gastroprotector too, if a qualified doctor does prescribe her Zoloft. I was put on Zoloft last year without a gastroprotector and it almost killed me because it *ruined* my stomach. I'm lucky I don't have permanent gastric damage from it.[/quote]
