I'm the wrong person to ask about taking pills, because I refuse to take mine. Maybe other folks who have had better experiences with meds can comment. If you've had this feeling of violence before and not acted on it, that's good, but the thing is do you think there is a possibility that you could end up physically harming him? In that case, you need to take whatever steps to avoid it. Tell your p-doc again and ask him/her directly if you should take meds or what you should do. Another thing is can you talk to your husband about how stressed you feel? I'm not suggesting you tell him that you want to stab him, but maybe talking about your stress might allow your anger towards him to dissipate. Can you talk to him about how you feel?
