How do you tell the difference from paranoia and a real threat ? Right now I am having thoughts that my husband is drugging me in order to get me to have sex. I think that he's using some kind of gas while Im alseep to keep me from waking up. When I really think about it it seems far fetched and rediculus but in the mornings Im waking up with vague almost memories. We've been married 20 years and I tell myself he wouldnt do something like that..but would he ? I told my pdoc and he says Im just being paranoid and maybe we need to up my paxil from 60mg to 80 mg and increase my ativan from 3 times a day to 4. He also wants me to tell my fears to my husband which I dont want to do becaue if he's not doing this to me and I accuse him he'll get upset and be hurt. If he is doing soemthing to me he'll just lie about it so I see no gain in telling him anything about it. But I am nervous to sleep in the bed with him. I don't quite know what to do. has anybody else had anything similar ?

It sounds like paranoia to me. I've experienced it before. Mine had to do with big pharma trying to control me through prescribed medications, and I would quit my medications all the time because of it.
You can tell your husband without using an accusatory voice. This can also be a symptom of a bigger problem (perhaps distrust in the relationship?) and it's manifesting itself though the paranoid thought. Something I find helpful is doing reality checks by talking to supportive people and listing the reasons its an actual threat verses non-reality. Since you're able to distinguish that it seems far fetched and ridiculous, it means you're not delusional.

What is the probability that your husband is doing this? Has he done this in the past?

Vague memories may be pieces of a dream that you had. Some dreams can me vivid. Here is a rhetorical question: Would your husband need to do this to get that type of attention from you?

Maybe an antipsychotic would help instead of just more ativan and paxil? Have you ever tried any? You could maybe ask for a low dose and see if it helps at all.
