Hi Shiya,
Welcome to HCM!
I appreciate your concern towards to over dosage of Restyl 0.5 mg tablets.
Restyl is a benzodiazepine containing drug Alprazolam.

The side effects seen with its over dosage include:

Extreme drowsiness, confusion, muscle weakness, loss of balance or coordination, feeling light-headed, and fainting.

These effects persist for about 2-3 days, it is better take her to ER for proper assessment and may be she needs the use of antidote Flumazenil to reverse the toxic effects of Restyl.

At toxic doses difficulty in breathing, unconsciousness, may occur.

I hope your query has been explained.
Should you need more information please feel free to send your queries to HCM.
Wishing a smooth and quick recovery for your friend.
