Medication Query

Dear MIL mentioned that she had been put on an anti Epilepsy drug - but that she's not suffering from epilepsy,
Also whilst going through her medication recently i noticed that when I googled it the blurb said it was an anti psychotic. Now she eventually admitted to going to the dr and saying she was a little depressed over the pain that she was in and that she feels the NHS are not doing enough for her - would they give her such strong anti depressants for someone a little depressed?
She currently takes 15 different medications and painkillers daily and to be frank given what we discovered when over recently i am beginning to think she has either lost it or loves to be centre of attention!

Has your OH told his brother he is concerned and they both need to do something about their mother?
You've got enough to handle without MIL being added to the burden.
How often does your BIL interact with his mother?
Just curious, cos if it's daily he may not notice any changes they way one does if it's say, weekly contact?

If you think that her driving is a risk to herself and to others, then definitely a call to the GP! You can also talk directly to the DVLA in confidence if talking to the GP fails. https:/
