Looks like a job for CamW, though I will repost this in the PB (not Social) website for you as this is a meds. issue as well as an understanding/knowledge issue... The first story (My incredible voyage into madness -- and back.) at this website: (http://www.atkinsonfdn.on.ca/publications/fellowship/simmie/simmie1.html) may help you with some perspective as well. It's the story of and by a journalist who experienced bi-polar disease (which it sounds like what your fiance may be dealing with) what happened and how his fiance helped him get back on track.
All the best!

> Hello,
> I was reading some conversation on this site about Zeprexa and related topics (just happen to fall on it while searching on the web for Zeprexa). I do not have a problem related to Zeprexa, but my fiancé does. He sometimes hears voice and is very paranoid! Last night, we were at a social function with colleagues from work... he told me that the only reason he came was to tell people the truth (ie: how we are being exploited, how we are pawns in government games, how the media is controling us,etc). He even made a scene after one of the presentations. This has only been going on for a couple months, but I find it very hard. For about a year, he was acting depresive (that is all it was until about a month ago). Just yesterday, he was prescribed Zeprexa. So, I read up about it, and feel very worried. I do not know if this medication will help, and I am afraid that I may not be able to deal with the way he has been acting forever. I never expected what happened last night (his scene) or what I read up about in the articles on the site.
> I want to help him, but he wants me to mind my own business and does not want to admit that their is a problem. I love him very much, but I just don't know what to do or how to help him. can anyone give me advice???Any suggestions???
> Thank's :0)
