Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
I have noted your mother's complaints and her current medication list.
I agree with you that her current problems are most likely due to drug side effects.
Recita forte contains clonazepam 0.5 mg which has a sedative effect and the person feels sleepy.
Recita forte is used for treating depression, anxiety and sleeplessness. If she does not have these problems, then, she can stop using these medicine.
For migraine, she can continue to use flunarizine (sibelium).
I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.
Wishing you good health,
