Answer by Dib
It’s hard to say. You mention her being “on medication”, is this something she’s being treated for then? If she’s almost overdosed and acts like a “zombie” it would certainly need to be brought to the attention of her doctor.
Maybe she needs to be using a different kind of medication or look therapies that don’t use drugs. Talk to her though. You’re her friend and if you’re concerned you need to act on it.
