Brief Answer:
It takes time for the problem to resurface
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.
I read your query and understand your concerns.
Although I am not aware of the problem for which trazine H was started for your mother but there is two possible reasons for not having any problem on discontinuation.
As you know trazine H is used for treatment of psychiatric condition, it is possible that over the years of use the problem get cured with medicine and she no longer need medication.
The second possibility is prolonged effect of medication even after discontinuation. Over the long time of use trazine H makes necessary changes at the receptor level and that changes may remain effective over the months even after discontinuation. It is possible that same this is applicable to your mother and she do not get any problem even after discontinuation.
In my opinion it will be wise to be extra alert for resurfacing of original symptoms in your mother since medication is discontinued. I do not find anything irrational as trazine h is used for conditions which have life long course.
I hope this helps you.
If you have more questions feel free to write back to me.
Thanks and regards.

Brief Answer:
It is generally safe even after use of 30 years (my experince)
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for reverting back to me.
First regarding safety and long term side effects I like to make it clear that the medication is completely safe and not associated with any significant long term side effects. To be XXXXXXX I have at least five patients who are using this medicine for last thirty years from generation of psychiatrists and doing well without any side effects. Having said this it is important to follow up regularly so the problem, if any can be detected at early stage and remedial measures can be taken.
Now regarding the stopping medicine. It is well known and established fact that most of the psychiatric conditions last long and same thing is applicable regarding treatment. If you stop medication without doctor's advice it is possible that she may get same symptoms or even severe on stopping medication. This is due to the fact that disease symptoms emerge once treatment is discontinued.
In fact few patients fail to respond to medication on second time if the medication is stopped prematurely. So it will be wise to see your psychiatrist as soon as possible or without delay.
Hope I am able to answer your concerns.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
