Salam, it seems that your sister is in a challenging situation. The immediate effects to monitor are heart related and sedation. This medication is not known to cause extra pyramidal side effects ie stiffness, tremors, or movement problems. Please do an ECG and have it reviewed. If ok then just monitor. However if her mental state is still not well, she maybe at risk of repeat overdose. She needs to be monitored for her safety and needs a psychiatric review. Happy to help if needed.
