“Abuse with unnecessary medication became the basis of my original complaints. It was October 2017 when I first went to see a Solicitor, because we had struggled to put a stop to medication that the NHS site recommends not to use continuously. It states that prolonged use of this medication can give very serious side effects, like electrolyte imbalance. This means that levels of substances like sodium, potassium and magnesium in your body get too high or too low. A severe electrolyte imbalance can cause serious health problems such as muscle spasm and twitching and even convulsions. Using this medication continuously could also stop your bowel working on its own. For some unknown reason, the care company took upon themselves to approach the psychiatric hospital where my daughter had spent seven months previously and where it was prescribed originally. They managed to get a prescription for a double dose of this medication that affected my daughter badly. She started to suffer from excessive saliva; diarrhoea, and vomiting and I struggled to put a stop to that medication, because as soon as it would stop, it was reinstalled again and again. Even after the Solicitor’s advice to my daughter to put a written note from her to her Doctor in order to stop this medication was ignored, because the Care Provider approached another Doctor who reinstalled it again. This on its own indicates an overbearing and bullying attitude that we suffer from. This attitude still continues up to this day. Please note that at that time my daughter’s capacity was accepted. She had three mental capacity assessments at the hospital and was found to be mentally capable”
