He went and talked to his doctor saying his wife was observing personality issues. She said he seemed fine and to keep taking the meds.

Call his doctor and ask for advice. While you’re not the patient he needs to know the condition of his patient.

See if his meds need adjusting first.
Maybe find a support group for spouses of cancer survivors or some such. Other people might have some good insight into your husband's reaction to his health scare.

Have the two of you thought about spending some time as nomads living abroad?

SSRIs. It is a major side effect. Becoming unhinged. BTDT. Sorry, maybe different meds?!

Yikes is right. If you don't have kids, do NOT get pregnant. You can wait for him to sort himself out, but eventually may need to more on. There's really nothing you can do, it's all on him.

No we do not but I was hoping to TTC soon. Now I am terrified of his personality change and am wondering what I can do.

My DH had a health scare earlier this year followed by months of panic attacks until he was put on SSRIs.
His panic attacks have subsided but he has since become intolerable. Suddenly, I can't do anything right. I am mean and controlling. He goes out drinking as if he is a frat boy. He sleeps in and goes into work late. He has told me he watches movies at work most of the day. He has started working out (which is good) and is now talking about getting a motorbike.
He also says he hates his job and is bored by his domestic life. He has said he wishes he was Peter Pan because life sucks when you grow up.
I don't know what to do. Inst he too young to have a mid life crisis?
