Dear lybrate-user, these are too many medicines. Some of the medicines in these cause drowsiness which is confused with weakness. It appears she has BPPV and requires repositioning maneuver. You need stop these medicines and get her checked with an ENT surgeon who will do Dix halpike test and then epleys maneuver.
