I'd be concerned with her being on Ativan. It's a highly addictiive drug that develops a tolerance where one needs to a higher dosage to get the affect. Hopefully she's on it for a very short period of time.

Ativan is one of the most potent benzodiazepines available, and it carries a substantial addiction risk.

Taking Ativan for longer than the prescribed period of time and/or more than the recommended dose increases the likelihood of developing a dependence.

However, some people have become dependent on Ativan even after following a prescription. A person physically dependent on Ativan has developed a tolerance to it and needs it in order to function normally. A dependent user who suddenly stops taking Ativan will begin experiencing physical and emotional discomfort. These symptoms are the first signs of withdrawal.
