Brief Answer:
The drugs are safe to use.

Detailed Answer:
Hi thanks for asking

I am sorry for the delay as it came on dashboard about a hour back.

She is on Depakene R 200 mg which is Valproic acid I think, Solanax which is Alprazolam and Myslee 10 which is Zolpidem.

If we consider the drugs then Solanax helps in sleep and anxiety. Zolpidem helps in sleep. Both are safe to use drugs and have no serious side effects of taken under regular supervision of a doctor.

Depakene too is safe to use in prescribed doses. Gastric upset, sedation, slight weight gain are side effects on prescribed doses. Overall the drug is safe. One major issue is to avoid drug in individuals with hepatic issues. But I think at 200 mg the drug is totally safe.

You can reassure her.

Thanks
