Is there a group for spouses of those taking SSRIs?

My SO has suffered from anxiety and depression for many years and is now visiting a therapist and taking prescribed medication to help.

It's put a small strain on our marriage and I honestly cannot relate to so much of what's going on in his head. I was wondering if there is an online community for people who's spouses are taking SSRIs or other types of prescribed medication, just to get some advice on the best way to be supportive and deal with the lovely side effects. Google is just not giving me any hints.

Thanks for reading.
