[quote=Anonymous]We're moving her into an assisted living facility. Spouse and I were going through her medicines. There were 8 of them, including 2 for pain and Xanax. It didn't make sense why she would have two for pain that she taxes regularly, and she says she takes Xanax for sleep. When we suggested we revisit the med schedule with her new doctor, she got very agitated and angry -- over the pain meds and the Xanax. I joked to spouse later that she was talking like a drug addict. And then I realized that she actually was. Anyone BTDT? For the record, the doctor kept her on the Xanax -- says older people undergoing lots of changes often have anxiety. I get that. Although I can't imagine taking so much of it is helping her memory issues that are causing us to put her in this facility. But I noticed he has cut the pain meds to one, and failed to actually call it into the pharmacy. [/quote]
