Psycotric medicines reaction
This is for my wife who is 72 years old. She has been under psychotic drugs treatment for the past 7 years. She has recently undergone 40 sessions of rTMS therapy and is now undergoing HBOT therapy. Today she is completing 24 th session and balance 6 sessions are there. Now because of the above therapies, she is getting Sleep for 6 to 7 hrs. For the past 6 months, her brain and eyes are in confusion and not able to concentrate on any normal work. Not able to walk also. When she lies or sits down no problem. But when she starts to stand and walk or do some work, the whole confusion gets tension. It seems that the brain is not able to coordinate with the eye and other parts of the body. Even for a bath, she could not coordinate the necessary actions.
