Oh, wanted to respond to your thought on trying your mom on a lesser dose for awhile. That is kind of built into it at the plateau phase. You would stop decreasing meds just at the threshold where she becomes too uncomfortable or too symptomatic. At that point where she levels out you could assess and see how she does and then you can note differences for a doctor.

I went from an 8 mg reduction in my agonist with no ill effect and was shocked to see that I actually felt better on less of it and some "symptoms" disappeared altogether. Worst part is I was not even aware I was over medicated until my GP told me she thought I had drug induced Bi-Polar Disorder.

Update us!
