Teresalovesshoes: Husband suffering PSSD

[Teresalovesshoes]

I am new to this site and found it as my husband, after 6 years of anti depressants, has permanent PSSD.  The affect is life changing for us both, and he refuses to go to see GP, as he feels there is no cure and no way out, .  In fact he wishes he had never taken the drug if he had know it had this side affect. At the time he was so unwell and gave up work and I cared for him through his time of wanting to take his own life.  I feel we have gone full circle and back to square one.   I had been thinking "he didn't fancy me" or was having an affair!  He showed me an article on PSSD and we both broke down.  Is there a way out of this....???
