Ambien/Ativan OD?: Not sure what the dosages are, but watch for confusion, dizziness, and in any case, contact her doctor for advise.

Be concerned: Would take to local emergency room if she cannot be easily aroused, or has trouble breathing. Definitely contact her physicians regarding this. Maybe just a modest overdose now, but could be a bigger problem in future. Get this handled.
