So before taking drugs, he was depressed and not contributin. Now he is not depressed but a drunk. Am I reading this correctly?
No, before taking this new(er) prescription regimen (which is just in the past three years) my H was working and contributing .. no problems there.
He was on a different prescription regimen (Paxil and Buspar) that by that time (.. so he claims) wasn't doing anything for him. He had been on the Paxil/Buspar regimen for many years (5 or so?) just through his family doc. Finally when he felt his depression got so bad, he sought out this psychiatrist (three years ago) that put him on the regimen that he is on now.
So .. to rehash, yes .. he WAS (and IS STILL) depressed. But back before he started on his new meds he was contributing financially, as was expected.
And now, he is an alcoholic, spending money wrecklessly (imo) and not contributing financially.
