His illness has made it very difficult to communicate with him and have a relationship. He can be paranoid and when that occurs, he can be dangerous. I’ve kept my distance for decades. It’s my poor mother that carries so much worry as to what will happen to him when she’s gone. After I developed acute leukemia a couple of years ago, he transformed towards me. He has treated me so kind and respectful. This can be expected from most. But, to see how good he’s been for 2 years straight has been beautiful. That’s when I see hope.
I just think it’s a shame that most with this illness don’t want to take the Meds. They are clearly tormented and would feel better. They say it makes them want to sleep all day.
Hugs and prayers for you.
Many claim unpleasant side effects, among them a metallic taste sensation 24/7.
We would all be safer if those meds could be delivered by skin patch placed under a locked and monitored bracelet.

My husband wouldn’t take his meds. With him, it was all about control. He liked to have everyone around him walking on tip-toes. And he could be very violent. I gave up after 10 years.
Meda are likely the cause.
