Will Olimelt 2.5 Cause Behavioral Changes In Children?

My daughter aged around 5 years old who was normal before she was infected by chicken pox two years before and since then her behavior is abnormal. She will remain calm and quiet, but suddenly turn violent. By then she will shout, cry and beat whoever nearer to her. She has been taken to many doctors, but her behavior remains the same. Recently, I have taken her to a Psychiatrist who has prescribed her with Olimelt 2.5. Is this a safe medicine for my child? Please advice. Saleem
