Look at the individual risk factors she had. She was female, which tripled her risk compared to a male. She had ostensibly just started it, which put her at the highest risk timeline. And she was over thirty, putting her in an age group more likely to have vomiting as a side effect.

Don't give up your day job.
Once again, alprazolam(xanax) comes in 0.5mg or 0.25mg quick dissolve tables. That's 20 to 40 tablets to cause severe vomiting the FO described.

There is no evidence here for a criminal trial, her story seems highly unlikely, and she has every motive to lie too.
