Refusing Meds

My DH is currently refusing to take any of his meds. He is delusional and paranoid right now,  and believes either the meds are poison or "they" won't let him take the pills. Any advice on how to get him to take his meds? He's on Memantine 10mg twice a day and 25 mg Seroquel at bedtime. Oh, he also won't eat or drink for the same reasons.
