Suggest Therapy For Potential Depression

My husband is on prozac, xanax and ambien. He also drinks up to 2 bottles of wine daily, or 2 hard alcoholic drinks, and 2 glasses of wine at dinner. He is an emotional roller coaster and I am very worried. He will not tell me why he was prescribed the particular meds, and refuses to listen to my concern regarding his strange behavior.

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. Given medicines are for anxiety and depression. Your husband could be going through some depressive or disappointing episodes in his life. You are his wife and you have the onus on you to know and motivate him. Alcohol, in any form, will have adverse effect if consumed when the person is depressed or anxious. Medicines may not even work. I suggest you to talk to your husband and understand the situation by any cost. Use his friends, family, office people, his boss etc. Know more about him and motivate and appreciate him. He wil be alright.

If you still need my assistance in this regard, please use this link. http://goo.gl/aYW2pR. Please remember to describe the whole problem with full detail.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
