Mum also has liver function problems which I believe are caused by the drugs she is taking for schizophrenia. It didnt occur to me that the reflux could also be a side-effect of the drugs as well. Add to all that glaucoma, td and 4 weeks in hospital with all the symptoms of Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome - what's next I ask. I am a morbid old thing today - sorry! My best wishes to you all!
