You should speak with the pharmacist; they went to school for this and will be able to tell you what drugs your mom should and should not be taking at the same time.

My first suggestion is do not listen to anybody on this site that does not advise you to first seek professional help. Your mother may need a complete med evaluation. You can check contra-indications of medications on line and side effects, but don’t substitute that for treatment. Depakote, zoloft and ambien are heavy duty drugs as is methadone. Sounds like she also needs a proper diagnosis and you need to advocate for her at the ER to have that done. Her bleeding is cause for concern and so is the fluctuating BP. Get professional help asap.
