I don't think OP is a troll, but I do think she's in a very difficult situation and I feel sorry for her. However, I don't believe that's a good reason for secretly medicating her husband.
My late father was weird & paranoid most of his life, but became even more so in old age. My mother mentioned it to their gp, who prescribed valium, telling him it was a "tonic to make him feel better", which it did. However I think that doctor was unethical to do so, although I understand my mother supporting it, because her life was much more peaceful after that. Eventually after my father died her life was much more peaceful and even fun without him around being suspicious of everyone.
If its not, then I agree with you on the idea of sneaking meds. Either way though don't you think we need to hear about what his doctor thinks of all this. The fact that that was left out baffles me.
She does say something like being told to make sure he takes his medication, which is the sort of useless advice some doctor give without any details of how she could actually do that. If I were her I'd be trying to set up a meeting with her husband and his prescribing doctor about the medication.
Would you force/sneak your s/o to take medicine they need?
