Medications can cause conditions that encourage unfaithfulness. Medications can lower inhibitions, make a person hypersexual in a manic or hypomanic reaction, and yes, it can blunt feelings including feelings of caring and compassion, or make a person feel irritable or hostile. My guess would be that it couldn't compel any particular actions.
Will she consent to couples counseling? It might be a worthwhile investment.
Withdrawal from psych meds can be very rough, and tapering rather than cold turkey is usually suggested. And any change in medications should be done with the knowledge and supervision of the prescribing physician.
This is my two cents, which might not be worth much more, as I'm not a physician and have no particular expertise.
