Hi,

My husband is an Iraq Veteran that has been diagnosed with severe PTSD and is considered disabled through the military due to his condition. Since his diagnosis in late 2006 and his treatment through the Veterans Administration my family has noticed his condition is not getting better, only worse especially with the medications he is on.

I am desperate to find answers as to if he is being over medicated and not getting the proper treatment. He is on 3 medications for depression, aniexity and sleeping and I suspect he is both abusing his medications and I know he is not taking them many times because he forgets. He is always sleepy, sleeping, acting drunk but does not drink alcohol, thinks irrationally, likes feeling numb and nothing, and has even wet the bed and slept walked while on these medications. His anger is out of control and I am concerned for his health, our families safety and he refuses to see what we are. I have even found medication that he was not prescribed hidden in his allergy medicine bottle recently, Lortab.

Is there anything I can do as his wife to address what I think is the VA using medication as the main form of treatment and is there anyway to see if switching him to something else might work better? I appreciate any thoughts!
