Suggest Treatment For Withdrawal Symptoms Of Lorazepam

My sister has moved to a different town which meant changing doctors. The previous doctor had her taking lorazepam. The new doctor has discontinued that drug. Now she is having trouble with shortness of breath and is sleeping (according to her husband) 18 hours a day. This does not sound normal to me. Once the drug is out of her system will she improve? She lives hundreds of miles away from me.
