She was very happily married mid-August, but had started new job that was stressful. Went to a physician's assistant for anxiety and he put her on both zoloft and klonopin. Three weeks later she wants a divorce. I truly believe she was happy before; she is one of the most honest people I know. For a switch in meds, would you go to Wellbutrin instead? Since it's not an ssri? Does it also involve risk of emotional blunting? I guess I don't know for sure it is emotional blunting, but she went from a joyful, loving, wife to a deadpan, no compassion, no loyalty person almost overnight. No willingness to see a counselor, or to talk about issues, just DONE. You mention "biological psychiatry"- I will have to see if we have a specialist in our area. My son visited a psychologist to ask about the possibility this was caused by the anti-depressant, and he said " highly unlikely". She had a pretty rough childhood, adopted at 9 after multiple foster homes, so counseling would be a good idea, but I doubt she'd do it. Pretty resistant to us all right now. Thanks for your kindness.
