Q. Why does my MIL have hallucinations after taking osteoporosis medicines?
Hi doctor,
My 75-year-old mother in law suffers from severe osteoporosis. Last year, she started to have motility problems. It got resolved after taking a combination of drugs and physiotherapy. But now, she is having symptoms of irritability, crying without any reason, feeling dejected, crushing around the people with hallucinations, and not finds peace at any place or with anybody. It appears that she wants to be sad every time and not finds happiness in anything. Kindly suggest a mode of action to solve her problems and to make her life comfortable.

I recommend having a psychiatrist consultation in person or a video consultation so that a detailed evaluation can be done and medications or counseling can be given. Please mention the medications taken for osteoporosis.
