My Mum has been on antipsychotics for years and years and I truly believe she would be dead by now if she hadn't been on them - either by her own hand or some sort of horrible accident like getting run over by a car or something. The thing is that now that her body is starting to fail - one problem is much reduced liver function - plus there are many more things happening too numerous to mention. The drugs have helped Mum and I am thankful of that...but what happens now? I feel a great sense of failure that is eating me away big time.
However, I am glad to live in these times where people can be so actively involved in their meds, can find information to help them and can read alternate points of view. It is just too late for Mum.
