I am so sorry and will pray for you. It's a terrible illness. My father had dementia, he would try to get out of the car while we were on the road.
Your husband could get up while you're driving and fall or create trouble in the house part before you could even pull over. A TT would prevent this from happening but you already have a MH.
The only medication that helped my father was Zoloft, he went through this very angry hostile stage and this was wonderful. He passed away in 2001 and medication has changed, I hope it's better now.
One thing, many people say "my loved one will NEVER go to a nursing home!" I have seen many people really do well in this setting. My MIL had Alzheimer's and became very reclusive and paranoid, my BIL built an MIL suite and was devastated to have her leave their home and go to "an institution". At her assisted living place they got her to teach crocheting and got her out of her room in general, she was much happier over all. My Dad made all kinds of "friends", they would have long conversations, sometimes over and over but he ate better, slept better and it's easier to have a routine which is very helpful.
