Suggest Treatment For Confusion And Sleeplessness Despite Taking Sertraline

My daughter is 27 years old and has been suffering from insomnia, stress, anxiety on and off for a few years. She also has had some binge drinking issues..... She has opened up about that (the drinking) and is actually seeing a counselor (about 3 visits) and has seen a doctor who prescribed Sertraline...which she has been on for only about 4 weeks. She holds a job and is excellent at it, is getting back into being more social, she is very fit and works out, hikes, runs, backpacks, etc. Just last week she got sick the morning of a very important event...it was something she desperately wanted to do....and could not go. She is extremely disappointed about that and ended up flying to stay with me. Now, she is here, still unable to sleep well, confused acting....almost like she is drunk, but there has been no alcohol. Lethargic, no emmotion...scared, I am unsure what to do. Oh, she did NOT bring her script with her so since Saturday, she has not taken any. It is a very low dose.
