Hi dear,

Thank you for your query.

First of all you need to do de-addiction from alcohol as whatever the symptoms he has is due to alcohol induced intoxication .

I would like to know whether your husband is having such symptoms only when he drinks?
Are there any withdrawal symptoms like hand tremors, anxiety symptoms, sleep disturbance any convulsion etc

Whether you have taken any treatment?

Oleanz 5 mg is helpful but need to evaluate first .

Waiting for your reply.

Brief Answer:
need to start treatment

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,

He has behavior problem secondary to alcohol.
You can start oleanz 5 mg as it controls behavior problems but for permanent relief he needs to stop it.
There are two methods of quitting alcohol
1. Aversion treatment in which you can give him Disulfiram tablet without his knowledge as it cause reaction problems and with that he might quit. but there is chance of serious reactions.
2.Treatment of alcohol withdrawal symptoms and also treatment for craving of alcohol but for this treatment patient must be motivated.

You can give oleanz tablet with alcohol but it has not much effect if taken on alcohol so avoid it.

Start thaimin 100 mg with oleanz as due to alcohol he might have deficiency of it and it may cause psychosis.

Consult local psychiatrist for detail history and examination.

Do liver function test and ultra sound of abdomen.

Thank you
