KINDLY SEND YOUR VALUABLE ADVISE .
Anxozap is a medication that is effective with anxiety and stress. If your mother is still not feeling better with the medication, it is advisable to gradually go off of the medication, since it may be hard to go off cold turkey. Memory loss, and some laziness while taking the medication are common side effects. However there are effective alternatives to these medications. I would recommend that you see a psychiatrist to change medications. Using relaxation strategies, like yoga and pranayama, deep breathing exercises and also keeping up your general physical health will also help with mental health.
I hope this helped. Take care.
