More than meds?

My fiance suffers from depression. He started taking his medication about two and a half weeks ago. There was some improvement. He missed three days over the weekend though because his 'normal' schedule was thrown off. How much improvement do you see after 4 - 6 weeks? Should I be trying harder to get him to talk to a therapist? There has definitely been a dip in his mood the past several days - a hopelessness. He's also started drinking ocassionally which from what I'm reading isn't a good thing while depressed or taking antidepressant meds.

Welcome to the board! You voice many valid concerns.
Yes, drinking and most anti-depressants is not a good mix.
I forgot to mention the website www.maledepression.com
It may help him, because it has a guy's perspective at heart.
I am afraid it may have to occur to him to get more than the meds.
