Unsupervised medications are not advised. If she can't go to doctor she will have to cope with stress, if can be solved then work towards it and if not accept the stress as something that is uncontrollable and forgive oneself

Recommend your friend to stop taking doxylamine since it is an (OTC) drug meant only for short term use.Let your friend know that a doctor won't judge a person or make things harder at home.Help your friend fix an appointment with a doctor.
