My mother takes albuterol via nebulizer 3-4 times a day,takes symbicort maybe once a day. Then she takes celexa high blood pressure,thyroid pill,cholesteral pill,diabetic pill,stomach ache pill,tremor pill,allergy pill,antibiotic pills,sleeping pill,all in the morning. Then at night she takes xanax,otc sleeping pill,another sleeping pill,tylenol and sometimes nyquil. Yea and she wonders why she doesnt feel good. I told every doc she sees & they dont seem to give a damn. So today she is searching for a doc to give her more steroids...Unbelievable crazy woman.
I try to get my mother off the drugs that aren't needed. We can drug our elders to zombiedom if someone isn't watching. We have to keep a watch over the doctor's shoulder, because some of them prescribe far too freely.
Where does she live? Because my mother in laws assisted living, hands out the meds and they wouldn't be doing all of that.
