Question: my husband has been on long term pain medication 20yrs approximately. He has degenerative disc etc, due to an injury. He takes them as prescribed, but he has developed delusions, hallucinations, and paranoia which he denies. Could this be from long term pain medication usage.

He is on hydrocodone, morphine, valium and a testosterone shot 2x mo. 1ml

thank you very much.

He went to the doctor this morning and had a general screening blood test and checkup. No infections showed up. I don't know if they would on that or not. He has been having this problem for over 2 years but its only been bad enough for me to understand what was going on since march, 2017. He is having the delusions but also is hearing, seeing and smelling things that are not happening. They are all directed at me cheating. This happened after our children caught him having an affair with my son's mother-in-law. He began attacking me through the delusions and hallucinations. I am a licensed counselor and I thought that he was having delusional jealousy, but it has gotten worse and the hallucinations are presenting more. I'm trying to figure out what is going on so I can get him help but he denies he needs help and says I'm the one with all the delusions. Maybe it is all because of the affair, but I want to rule out any medication problems as well as other things. He has been through some other losses in the past 4 years also. My family is going to fall apart if I cant' get him help, which he denies he needs and fights with me about the entire idea of him having these problems. I'm sorry if this is beyond the scope of this question, but I'm searching for answers. Thank you.

Thank your for your insight. I was concerned abut that but I really didn't want to hear it either probably. Now will be the problem of convincing him to get help. Thank you for your help.
