Lookout, I've read SO many contradicting reports on what was found to be in her system that I've become confused. However, I fee certain I recall reading that little of ANYTHING was found as a direct result of the Haloperidol being reduced so drastically which untimately lead to her forgetting/refusing to take her counterbalancing meds because she believed them to be unnecessary.
April,,I think the judge found such information irrelevent to the case,when everyone was focussed on Jeremy. It was such a one-sided affair that most will agree on that score.
Nobody seemed particularly up-front when it came to Sheila at all,,even down to the professionals who'd stated that the woman was " clean ". Lack of nail-scrapings from any of the adults too,,which should automatically form part of any investigation.
Very little information came forthwith on any of the deceased when you think about it. I would imagine that any further information held on the family will be either with EP or PII.
It was Doctor Ferguson who'd noted that Sheila had taken more Procyclidene than was " needed ",shall we say.Because of the higher dose of Haloperidol,originally,it was necessary to take 4 tablets a day of the Procyclidene in which to counteract or combat the side-effects of Haloperidol. When the Haloperidol was reduced,Sheila had continued to used the same dose of Procyclidene,,which was too much, given that the Haloperidol had been reduced.This is why Sheila would have been hyped up at the time.
The behaviour in this case would have been happiness and elation at first,,then a complete switch to " madness ". Once the balance of this type of medication is disturbed,it's a disaster.
Only the Haloperidol would have been found in her system because it was administered intramuscularly as opposed to orally where it would have been flushed by the kidneys eventually.
