On Prozac, Seroquel, Ativan, Neurontin For Stress, Depression And Nervous Breakdown. Any Advice?
My daughter had a nervous breakdown recently,. she was under a lot of stress, has had depression in the past, and added to this was a lot of anxiety. she is on several potent drugs. I feel she is over medicated. she has gained 50 lbs, since being on the drugs. Is it necessary for her to be on prozac, seroquel, ativan, neurontin (which she is weaning herself from) and a couple of others? why would she need to be on so many of these mind altering meds? this episode took place in Aug. with 2 additional episodes after August. she s also in group tx. and one on one tx.

Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
She needs to have councilling, and she should have love and affection, as others get. She should be included in your family issues as far as possible.
She must have an occupation,like cooking, and house hold works with some guidance.
With these guide lines, she can vein off the drugs, one by one. No psychological patient can improve health with out the surrounding peoples help.
Let her practice yoga, meditation, reading books, and hearing music, to have weight reduction and diversion from her imaginary surroundings.
Give her more of green leafy vegetables, pulses, sprouts,and
protein rich foods to improve her general health.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
