Hi:
I quite understand your support for your *dear* husband seems NOT enough, ... however like other posters saying, ... he has this illness, the serious form of Depression, for that your support and eternal LOVE are most important ingredients for him to get by daily life. It's VERY good thing to know that you're a quite strong person to withstand your husband's endless complaints and unhappy episodes. But, you should keep in mind that there is no marriage taken place if he did not believe 'true/genuine'LOVE in you. You are #1 person in the world more than anyone else, ... I believe.
The following quote as to the med. combo. ...
>> He is currently on Remeron, wellbutrin, and effexor. His doctor says that if he wants quicker results he has to approach his problems aggresively, and that is why he is taking 3 at once <<
In my knowledge along with my personal experience, three(3) different ADs are both 'Good' and "Bad." Because, normally his pdoc. should have rxed one med. at a time during the period of two or three months' interval. With thee meds. at once has no any good clueof finding as to whether which med. are helping your husband, because each med. has unique substance to alleviate dep. However, if those three AD med. combo. does not offer enough relief, ... then it might be a good idea for you and your husband to seek at least 'second opinion.' Some of pdoc. saying 'aggressive med. regimen,' however as reading your message, it sounds like your husband's depressive episodes are VERY obvious to not feel well. Rather, he sounds like always 'grouchy moods' everyone around him, especially around you. Practically, insides him seems very miserable enough to not even function everyday's life.
It's VERY good idea for you and your husband to get a 'Joint Counselling' with both the pdoc. and a psychologist.
Good Luck on you, Both!
H.G.
