Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic
Slurred speech, drowsiness and uneasiness etc are side effects of antipsychotic rather than calcium tablet. Being a patient of chronic schizophrenia, she must be on different antipsychotic and due to those drugs, she is getting these side effects. Better to discuss this with her psychiatrist and try to maintain the dose of antipsychotic. In case, you need further help, you can ask.
