It's been 4 days since mom`s boycott. She's been on s e r e q u e l for a few months along with aricept and l e x a p r o for a bit longer. Mom is very proud of herself and feeling very empowered. The pills made her groggy and those doctors aren't going to tell mom how to run her life. Mom knows best according to mom. I just wonder if there is someone out there on this forum who can give me a time frame of when all h*ll breaks loose and the crazy, angry and paranoia returns?
Steviegirl, I would say this the brain does adapt to being on psych meds so they should never be stopped suddenly but weaned slowly if a person has been on them for a while. Sounds like it may be too late to do that with your mother as she's already gone cold turkey, but if she has a delayed bad reaction it is always possible to restart them and wean off slowly.
In the morning, call her doctor and let them know she has stopped taking her meds and she what they suggest doing if you have not informed them already.
