hi
thanks for using HCM.
If zoloft is not much helpful to your husband, you can try other drug like paroxetine / other ssri/ snri. it is true that one drug does not fit to all, so that he may respond to other. Also you ask about CBT and Muscle relaxation therapy from your counselor as these method are also helpful. Do not stop the drug abruptly as it may cause withdrawl symptom that are sometime troublesome, instead taper it slowly.
thanks
