Depends on where she is, I am just finishing a psych rotation in a state run facility, and have seen clients admitted to the facility for taking 9 over the counter ibuprophens (which is not enough to harm most people) but the magic words "kill myself" did it. The state facilities here will only keep them long enough to stabalize them on medications and they have very little recourse to counseling on the units. Meds however should be free of cost if she can get into the MHMR system. The system here does not seem to function very well and is always under funded. I wish there were better news.

Did you mean Tegaserod? That drug is Zelnorm, it appears that the most common side effect is diarrhea and headache, it was perscribed for IBS? By the studies published in the PDR it appears to be questionably effective for the constipation associated with IBS. It is perscribed in 2 or 6 mg dosages and it does not appear to work in men at all or women over 65.
