Hi
It makes me so angry to hear about this. As a pharmacist even I have been unable to prevent my mother being over-medicated. Every time she has been prescribed anti-psychotics it has led to her falling and injuring herself. So far she has had a broken hip, a severe head injury and many minor tumbles every time after receiving antipsychotics. Luckily we have now found a specialised nursing home where they can cope with her behaviour without antipsychotics. It is so sad that people have to suffer unecessarily due to being sedated.
