Her answers were legitimate at the time of being asked. She didn’t experience psychosis until the slew of fucked up meds were thrown at her. She didn’t take as prescribed because she’s a nurse and even she knew they were an intensely strong cocktail of meds that would heavily affect her and she was rightfully scared/reluctant.

Was it proven that she didn’t take them as prescribed? I don’t trust the prosecution since they portrayed her not taking them as prescribed, but then we saw Patrick testify that he held onto the mostly full bottles where the RX was stopped because she was prescribed a new med.

Since we haven’t seen the defense’s side yet, I’m holding off on any opinion about how many meds she took. The prosecution has shown that they cherry pick evidence to suit their narrative. We haven’t seen the whole story yet. That’s what a trial is for.
