Movement Impairment from Anti-Anxiety Meds??

Posted , 2 users are following.

Hello,

A senior, I'm trying to help, is bedridden after being on Tofranil, for anxiety, for 40 yrs.

One doctor guessed at discontinuation syndrome? She's 73 yrs old.

Has anyone heard of a lack of physical mobility resulting from anti-anxiety mediations? Any kind suggestions of what to do?

Tks for any input and your time!!

    Yes, it could very well be, please don't tell me she stopped the meds suddenly, without tapering
