I don't know what to do anymore. The paranoia toward my husband started almost a year ago. I constantly accuse my husband of everything from cheating to stealing my meds. I keep begging for a med change since the paranoia started. They keep insisting therapy will work but it doesn't. Im going back tomorrow to beg for a med change for probably tenth time now . In the past when I was on different meds I trusted my husband. This is hurting my marriage what do I say?

Maybe along with individual therapy you guys could do marriage counseling

So back when you were on different meds what made you change off of those in the first place? Were you stable?

"What the f**k am I paying you for? Listen f**ker, you better put me on another medication right now god damn it."

Say something like that. If that doesn't work then walk out and find another doctor. If it were me I would also file a malpractice suit, but that's just me.

I was like that too for awhile and it took therapy along with an increase in my anti psychotic to get me better. My boyfriend worked with me through the situation and helped prove to me he was indeed faithful. You really have to work on yourself and believe him if you want a successful marriage.

The doc changes my meds because of side effects. Now that I don't have as many side effects she does not want to change them. I swear this doc cares more about if I have side effects than if I am stable!

Basically I was on abilify for a couple years until I developed diabetes and everything else they have tried has bad side effects but it worked, or in the case of fanapt fewer side effects but it doesn't work as well. Also they used to give me cogentin for side effects but it was taken away.

That's weird they would take you off because of diabetes...I mean it's not like that went away right? All the atypicals can lead down that same path....can you just ask to go back to abilify and cogentin? I don't think therapy is a reasonable solution it's more like an enhancement than a cure....

I was going to go to the mental health place with my husband so I could talk to someone during his appointment but he wanted to go by himself because he thought I wanted to go with him because I didn't trust him. So I had to call in and the mental health worker acted like she didn't want to listen to me so I felt uncomfortable.
