Kimbell,
I can speak from the point of view that when my MD prescribed me Wellbutrin (yes, that's right, MD, not a psych doc, and my jaw dropped when I read what you said about her GYNOCOLOGIST being the one prescribing her those meds) that I also had a major problem with finishing sentences, saying things in the opposite order and such, and to this day (it's been over 2 years since I've taken it), feel like that particular medication screwed me up for life. At the time, I figured that it would be a good idea for me to try that med, since I'm a smoker, and it's been widely prescribed to people who are trying to quit with a supposed high success rate, but looking back on it, I regret ever taking it.
As for your friend, do you have her sister's number, or a way of finding it out? She might be listed in the local directory assistance where she lives. I would (at the risk of ticking your friend off) definitely give her a call, writer her a letter, or do something to let her know that she's getting worse. She might get mad at you at first, but eventually will probably come around and realize that you did it for her benefit, not to "gang up" on her, so to speak. There might not be anything that her sister can do, as she lives 2 hours away, but just a long distance chat might do her some good. And since your friend isn't working at the moment, maybe a trip to go see her sister and being with family might do her some good, you never know.
Once again, I have to say that you are an amazing friend to her, I really and truly hope that she appreciates how much you care about her. Good luck!
Eeyore
