Asking for Mother, Female, 59 years old, Karachi, Pakistan
My mum eats a lot of meds mostly for her brain like reset etc she wants to get off meds and I want to help her how do we go about this she eats meds for her heart too they all add up
get her consult psychiatrist for proper management
Proper consultation with psychiatrist and psychologist is necessary.
What are those medicine that she is taking, also you need to consult her cardiologist first and then after management of her cardiac issue seek Psychiatric consultation.

Sister she will recover I give only one medicine stop all other medicine ,you just get my online appointment.
Taking multiple medications is a common problem in Pakistan where people visit one physician after another and continue taking medication prescribed by the previous physician also thinking this must be doing some good. All modern meds are powerful agents and have side effects. You are doing an admirable job trying to cut down her medication. But not having any medical knowledge is a stumbling block. I can only suggest have expert medical advice.
it's called polypharmacy, over the counter medication if taken for long time unsupervised can leads to dependence and addiction, tk consultation and taper off plan will be given regards
