Brief Answer:
Kappra and Prozac is a suitable combination

Detailed Answer:
Hello Ma'am

I can certainly understand your concern

I have worked through your attached query in detail

The best combination of drugs for your daughter is Kappra plus Prozac. Kappra is effective for seizures and Prozac is effective for menopausal symptoms.

Wellbutrin and Xanax can be eliminated from the drug regime.

Seizures are not attributed to menopause.
Majority of the symptoms will improve with right doses of Kappra and Prozac. It's advisable to speak to your consultant with regards to the same.
