She's now on the following:-
Mornings:
clonazepam 0.25 mg
buspar 5 mg
valproate 300 mgEvenings:
clonazepam 0.25 mg
buspar 5 mg
valproate 300 mg
zopiclone 7.5 mgShe's normal now.
Let me tell you a story to demonstrate just how badly the meds affected her. She had to fill out a doctor's form. She couldn't remember what her own phone number was. I read it to her. She kept asking me to repeat it. She tried to write it down, but couldn't. She then asked me to "please spell it". I kept slowly reading it to her, but she wasn't able to write it down. Eventually she started crying, saying she didn't understand what it meant.
