... inappropriate prescribing to older people is more common than previously thought.
My late MIL took 7 prescriptions each day and she was miserable, almost suicidal.
  Finally one day she decided to stop taking the drugs and within a week she was like a new person.
  Went to her doctor and he suggested she only restart 2 of the 7.
She saved a ton of money ... which is why so many drugs are prescribed ... boo-koo bucks. Big pharma sux.

My 84 year-old aunt is doing Ativan for no real apparent reason except that she is probably addicted. They gave it to her when she was fixing to get ready to think about quitting smoking. We did finally get her off “Well-A-Bootrin”.

She quit smoking 3 years ago when she broke her hip.
