Well most people would react strongly to that much medicine. But Nana consumes more pills than food.
When we moved her here, the doctor cut her meds down to a third of what she had been taking.
Yeah, folks can build up a tolerance to meds, and it can take a whole boatload to be effective. That week I was with Mama, she'd been on Valium for the entire time, but it took until Thursday for her to head over the edge. I talked to my sister that day, and mentioned the Valium. THAT'S when she told me Mama couldn't take that. Wish I'd known earlier in the week, but I wasn't one of the folks who usually stayed with her. I just happened to be free to come down that week so her usual caregiver could go on vacation with her own family.
