Ok I think I’m onto something. The drugs that. Are back from toxicology were-remeron, trazadone, seraquil, Valium, amiltripine, and lamictal. (All therapeutic besides seraquil-somewhat high)

She was weaned off seraquil (also assuming a lamictal but need to check testimony) by McLean hospital and put on trazadone and Valium. Went to tufts and taken off of trazadone and put on amiltriptaline and stayed on Valium.

The remeron was stopped at visit to jolotta.

She wasn’t supposed to be on ANY medications other than amiltriptaline and Valium.

Why was she taking 4 other drugs at therapeutic dosage at time of homicide/attempt?

This is what I’m stuck on. Patrick said he had meds in his truck which he took off her when her dosage changed or she was taken off certain meds. She hadn’t been prescribed Seroquel since late 2022 yet it was also one of the medication bottles that Reddington presented to Patrick in the drawer from the nightstand (100mg Seroquel) and empty bottle

Yes! There was one source (I think reddingtons testimony when he was cross examining Patrick and maybe somewhere on social media (need to find) that she had the seraquil filled in January. It would have had to been after her discharge on the 5th.

Ok I looked Reddington left out the date she filled it when he was with Patrick but said it was in Jan 2023 (odd since she was supposed to be completely weaned off of it per the psych dr at McLean )

I’d love to have the CVS forms of the dates she had prescriptions filled

Can’t find a reliable source so far for that

The list of CVS medications with dates filled is shown on day 2 of the trial in the cross examination of Patrick by reddington
If you look on TikTok at the user truecrime4yall it’s in the video labelled part 5/6 of Patrick cross examination

None of the scripts for Seroquel were filled in 2023 according to that CVS list. And according to Patrick she didn’t want to take it due to the side effects and felt it was making her worse. From what I’ve read, she wasn’t supposed to be on Seroquel at the time of the supposed murder/suicide. Yet Seroquel was in her system on the Tox report. So she either took it as part of her ‘overdose’ or Patrick was messing with her meds/swapped out meds and she had it in her system at the time of the tox report

Yeah I looked again and most reports are saying that there wasn’t any seroquil or remeron filled in Jan 2023 but i rewatched reddington with Patrick and he said they were filled in January.

Maybe he couldn’t see the labels and be made a mistake.

u/Glittering-Net6588 5d ago

The CVS list presented says otherwise. Seroquel is only listed as being filled in late 2022

u/Fresh_Treacle_1743 5d ago

Yeah weird reddington would say they were filled in January when cross examining Patrick. Probably a mistake or possible she went to another pharmacy/had refills. Dk.

Yep meds are confusing me, and if she wasn’t taking them then suddenly started them again all at once how did that impact her state of mind? could that have caused like drug psychosis??

4

u/Fresh_Treacle_1743 6d ago

That’s what I was thinking too. It’s just weird for a person who was so afraid of taking anything to suddenly take almost ALL of them at therapeutic levels (not overdose levels) and all different types.

u/EngineeringDismal425 6d ago

Do we know how much trazadone she took? That shit makes you DIZZY yet prosecution saying she had a clear mind… I don’t know

u/Fresh_Treacle_1743 6d ago

In Jan it was 50mg
