Hello, Roberta! How are you? I am very sorry about the loss of your furbaby! That's so very sad.

Unfortunately, I am really not sure, since I am only familiar with and knowledgeable about the use of medications in humans.

If you feel that she may have been improperly treated, I'd suggest consulting another vet to ask them about this.

Is there anything else I can help with?

I know its been almost 2 years since this post, but what you experienced with your cat was serentonin syndrome. The antidote is another appetite stimulant for cats, cyproheptadine, available over the counter in Canada. If treated most cats recover perfectly but unfortunately many vets aren't aware of the syndrome. I'm sorry you lost your pet.
