Bad combo: These medications are all sedating and have a potential to interact depending on the dosage taken. Lorazepam ingestion can be reversed with a medication called flumazenil (clonazepam). It sounds like you're quite concerned about your sister ... Going to the ER and making sure that she receives the proper medical and (more importantly) psychiatric care is definitely your best bet. Hope that helps!

A person who : attempts suicide by ingesting multiple psychoactive medications needs immediate attention at a hospital-based ER. & psychiatric hospitalization when stable. Brazil's laws allow involuntary commitment when a patient is a danger to him/herself. Seek immediate medical & psychiatric acute care for her now to keep her safe. If she objects, call the police to transport her to an ER.
