I hate to say it, but the best thing to do is get an autopsy! and make sure they check the chemicals in her body.
lexapro and xanex for one should never ever ever be prescribed together let alone adding methadone
why the methadone? I know that lately they have been giving it for severe pain however with the other medications that sounds like too much for the central nervous system to handle.
email me if you have any questions. I am a respiratory therapist, and my husband is a paramedic

That's kind of odd, but if the doctor was kind of concerned that she overdosed from all the meds he prescribed, maybe he was trying to cover his butt legally. You might want to talk to a lawyer to see if you have any legal recourse.
I'm really sorry for your loss, and hope everything works out for you.
