Some anti-anxiety drugs are addictive. Some anti-depressants are practically addictive. Some sleep aids are addictive. With all of these drugs, even if they were effective at one point in time, they can lose their effectiveness over time. The friends I know who are on anti-depressants seem to need to tweak them or change them completely about every two years, it seems.

I agree with those above who suggest you talk to the doctor and report what is going on at home. The psychiatrist is not hearing this from your DH, and won't.

Also, is he in therapy? Or is he just getting drug "treatment"? From everything I've read, I don't think that drug treatment alone will help someone with PTSD. Many years ago, my DH received drug treatment without any accompanying therapy. It nearly killed him.
