Here are all the powerful drugs found in Lindsay Clancy’s system after she strangled her three kids

Lindsay Clancy had a cocktail of six powerful psychiatric drugs in her system after strangling her three kids — but nothing she took would have been a fatal dose, according to expert testimony.

Clancy, a 35-year-old former labor and delivery nurse, had prescription drugs in her blood including anti-anxiety medications Ativan and Valium, antipsychotic meds Seroquel and Lamictol and antidepressants Remeron and Trazodone, toxicologist Dr. Justin Brower testified Wednesday.

The dosages found in Clancy’s blood of the Lamictol, Remeron and Trazodone were all within “therapeutic” levels, meaning she had a regularly prescribed amount of them in her system, Brower, who works at NMS Labs, explained to the jury in Plymouth, Mass.

The Seroquel in her blood was double the regular dosage but “it’s not in a concentration that I would consider to be toxic or lethal,” the doctor said.

Brower’s company was only tasked with analyzing four of the drugs in Clancy’s system. But when he was shown another lab’s toxicology report of the Valium and Ativan found in her blood, he said they were slightly below the prescribed range.

All six of the drugs had been prescribed to Clancy by four doctors, nurse practitioners and one hospital during her four-month struggle with severe postpartum before she strangled Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and 8-month-old Callan with exercise bands at her Duxbury home on Jan. 24, 2023, according to testimony and evidence.

She then tried to kill herself by throwing herself out of the second-story window of her home. She is now a paraplegic.

In addition to the six drugs in her blood, Clancy was also prescribed seven other psychiatric medications during those four months as she worked with health care providers to find the correct cocktail and dosage to help her fight crushing insomnia and anxiety, and intolerable side effects, according to testimony and evidence.

In all, Clancy was given over 30 prescriptions for 13 drugs in varying dosages from Sept. 15, 2022 through January 2023, the jury has learned.

Prosecutors have claimed that Clancy carefully planned the slayings because she was tired of taking care of her kids.

But Clancy’s lawyer, Kevin Reddington, will ask the jury to find her not guilty by reason of insanity, because she was in the throes of severe postpartum psychosis and was hearing voices — in part because of all the medications she was on.

Clancy had landed in the hospital twice in the months before the murders for suicidal thoughts and she told her then-husband, Patrick Clancy, and her mom about having thoughts of harming the kids.

And she journaled about her excruciating inner torment and dark thoughts, saying she wanted to die while she sleep-trained Callan, and wanted a mental break from taking care of everyone.

Clancy and her husband Patrick — who has since remarried — have both filed separate lawsuits against the doctors who treated her claiming they misdiagnosed and overmedicated her.
