I agree that mixing or taking the wrong medications could certainly cause some very bad side effects. However, the symptoms your daughter is having can also be a depressive state called By-Polar or manic depression which is one and the same.

My advice is to see the Doctor that is medicating her for N, or your PCP for a referrel to a psychiatrist just to make sure of what you are really dealing with.

I had a niece that was miss diagnosed when she was in a manic state and it cost a life, I am not trying to upset you, just sharing my experience with the symptoms your daughter is showing.I am not a professional so call your Doctor before changing anything they told you to do but
I urge you not to wait for your daughters sake and your peace of mind since you are suffering with your own health issues.

Hope this helps,
Sadie
