will she stop running around the house

My sister abuses her concerta (she knows the risks) she will stay up until around 5am and sleep for an hour or two. Her doctor is giving her 400mg of seroquil to help her to sleep. Will that get her to bed?

Thank you! She is almost 30yrs old. She gets 36mg concerta, WAAY more then I believe is a 'normal'/healthy dose..X4 daily. She however has (ithink) more than one dr perscribing them to her.. in the course of 1 day she took betweeen 10-15 pills. She says "it helps her get things done".... I am worried that she may overdose or seriously hurt herself in the long term. Being that it is my sister I stay awake watching her... so much so that I don't sleep, I have been trying to give her melatonin to sleep but she won't talke it

The best way to solve this problem is to tell her doctor what she is doing and if she is underage, tell your parents. someone has to stop her before something bad happens. You have to do this for her sake.
