Shivering after chemotherapy
My mother completed her chemotherapy almost 20 days before. Her legs have started to shiver after that. We consulted a psychiatrist and she's diagnosed with anxiety and depression and she's prescribed with the medicines
"Zolent 0.25 - anti anxiety"
"Rexipra LA - antidepressant."
Then we consulted a neurologist as suggested by our oncologist for the shivering. He prescribed the medicine
"Etilaam pro 20"
But it seems like all of these medicines are anti anxiety and I'm worried that I'll overdose her with the drugs. The neurologist checked the psychiatrist's prescription still gave this medicine. I feel confused what to do now.

Do not take all the medicines together, may cause drowsiness. Rexipra and etilam are same meds. Take the first two and wait for few weeks for her symptoms to subside, and cns taper down the medicines to one a day.
