My mom is home; she was discharged Friday. The very last diagnosis was a bizarre reaction to an OTC sleep/pain aid to her regular RA meds.
No rehab facility is necessary, thank God.
I guess it's just a reminder to check with your doctors when taking an OTC product while on medication. I never check; guess I will from now on!

Same as with herbal meds. They can react in negative ways with your prescriptions.

You're welcome, magentapea! Pretty scary stuff; she was literally delirious for over 24 hours. My girlfriend JUST went though the exact same thing; her dad was admitted for a reaction to an OTC which messed with his Alzheimer's meds.

Glad she's doing better. And thanks for the reminder to check OTC meds in combination with prescribed meds. I'm on 3 different high blood pressure medicines and have never checked.

I'm glad she's doing better. I've heard so many stories like this recently, of prescription meds interacting badly with OTC meds.

I'm so glad the doctors found out what was happening and it can be prevented from happening again. You must feel such relief.

I am so glad it wasn't what they originally thought. I have reminded my Mom on numerous occasions to always tells her doctors every little things she takes even OTC meds. She doesn't add anything new without checking. However, her doctor and pharmacist missed a bad drug pairing recently. Thankfully, the online pharmacy contacted her about it.
