I had a friend whose mother was in a nursing home and her doctor had a
hard tome regulating her meds. She was a mess. My friend changed her
doctor and they agreed to stop ALL her meds and see what happened. She
got better. She then was prescribed certain meds to deal with certain
conditions. She continued to get better. When you prescribe meds to
manage side effects of other meds things can go south fast.

One of my oldest friends has a daughter that they are trying to cure
with chemistry. It seems that shortly after they get her drug cocktail
dialed in, something changes, she goes off on some kind of jag, either
self destructive or violent to others, the cops get involved, she goes
off for "observation" and they come up with a new drug cocktail that
turns her back into a zombie and things are quiet for a while.
He also has a mother in law with Alzheimer living with him.
I am surprised he still has any sanity at all.
