LUL: The reason that it is different for men is that when a woman is pregnant and/or nursing there are medicines that she cannot take for those reasons and she may have to come off of her medicine in order to get pregnant, during the pregnancy, and if she wants to nurse. That whole time period can be devastating to a marriage if the woman reverts to a state that the man is not familiar with or capable of coping with. She is not “the woman I married” and may or may not return to that state once she is back on meds. It is not a simple situation for a woman on anxiety/depression meds. For men, none of these concerns exist obviously. If he is responsible and takes his medication, there is no pressing need for him to go off of them unless they are no longer effective.
