Hello,
Thanks for posting your query
Epilim contains Sodium Valproate and Tegetrol has Carbamazepine. Both medications are associated with various side effects such as drowsiness, confusion, loss of appetite, hair loss, vision problems, tremors, anemia, etc.
It seems she is exhibiting the effects of both drugs.
I encourage you to report back to your prescribing physician. Your doctor might consider modifying your daughters medication.
Hope this answers your query. I will be available for follow up query if any.
