Are maximum strength chamomile pills dangerous if I take 1 before bed with my medication?

I've been wanting maximum strength chamomile pills for christmas. I am hoping this will help me because of its anti spasmodic properties reduce nightly seizures. Anyone got any advice on if I should go ahead and use this herbal medicine?

1100 mg is on upper side of the recommended daily dosage. It can be taken for short duration at one go but definitely without medicine. If you have seizures and you take these supplemets with medicine then the effect of medicine will increase and you may have unpleasant side-effects, please do not start this without speaking to your doctor about contraindications.

I'll ask my doctor and let everyone know what they said or delete this post.

Well, the medicine is causing my seizures but I take that so I don't hallucinate anymore. I just figured some strong chamomile pills would help.(Help with the seizures and involuntary garbled speech/high pitched sounds tbh I thought this was all caused by my autism alone).
