Hi,
Involuntary movements can be caused by metochlorpramide (reglan) so she needs to talk to her doctor to confirm if it is safe for her to continue to use it or not. Also depending on the sleeping medications and the anxiety medications, they can be the cause of the symptoms as well so it is important to try and figure out which of her medications is most likely the cause.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
