Hello,
She could die. Both of these cause an enormous stimulation of the heart if taken in excess. Her doctor needs to stop prescribing the medications if she is taking too many of them or prescribe them in smaller quantities like 15 day supply at a time. This is very dangerous behavior. Please try to get her to stop this as soon as possible and only take medication as prescribed.
