Along with anti depressant drugs, you may need interpersonal psychotherapy or couple therapy which may be useful to make your husband realize about his faulty behavior.
You should continue to take antidepressant drugs till your psychiatrist's advise.
It seems you are going through a tough time and i fully empathize with you. From what i understood, your marital relationship is strained and the in-laws are adding to the problem. You visited a psychiatrist 2 years ago and were prescribed oxtin (? dose). Now Oxtin is Oxatomide, which is an anti-allergic drug with some sleep inducing property. So probably it was prescribed to help you fall asleep.
Regarding the problems that you are facing, i would suggest you to visit a psychiatrist/clinical psychologist or a qualified marriage counselor. Marital, Interpersonal and family therapy might help you cope with the situation, as well as improve the situation at home. Regarding medicines, though their role is limited in this case, you might benefit from antidepressant medications.
Hope this helps
