My husband has lost interest in his hobbies...boating, shooting skeet and gets angry very easily. He just stopped taking Duloxetine a week ago but this behavior has been going on much longer.... any suggestions?seems anxious at times and tries to overachieve and obsess about things in the past and wont participate in activities he used to participate in the past few years.....lashed out at people on his skeet team now wants no part of it....saw his exwife on a plane last weekend but sure nothing is going on as he was coaching an athlete over the weekend. But the erratic behavior has accelerated.
Hello thanks for asking from ChatDoctorI can understand your concern. He has lost the interest in hobbies, he is getting irritable, sticking in past and his behavior is changed. He was on Duloxetine which is an antidepressant Chat Doctor.  His symptoms along with lack of motivation, mood swings suggest some mood disturbance or Depressive disorder. If with Duloxetine his symptoms were persisting then this means that he needs fresh evaluation now. Other antidepressants like Venlafaxine or Venlafaxine can be tried. These too are SARI
