call them. You have to be safe before you can do anything about your husband's behavior. Don't try to reason with him while he is in this state of mind and don't wait until you get hurt before you take any action.

Second of all, contact your husband's doctor and inform him of the changes in your husband's behavior. It sounds like he is having a bad reaction to the drugs he is taking now.

I would only contact the police as a last resort. If you feel that he will harm you or hurt himself, by all means, call for help.
