What condition does your mother take neuroleptics for? It might help to determine how to handle the situation. That's such a low dosage.
Without knowing any details, I would first add Zyprexa and titrate quickly to 10mg. Afterwards, you can gradually remove the thioridizine. Again it is hard to make any suggestions without knowing more about your mother's condition.
