Hello, Nellie! How is your mother doing?
First of all, unless you are a doctor yourself, you shouldn't take any medication away from your mother. The only people qualified to make that decision are your mother and/or her doctor.
Lexamil contains the active ingredient Escitalopram, it is an SSRI antidepressant and it could cause those types of things as side effects, especially if the dosage is too high for her.
Learn more Lexamil details here.
However, those symptoms could also be caused by her pain medications, especially if any of them are narcotic opiates.
Has her doctor been consulted? You really need to talk to them to discover which medication is causing these issues.
