My family and i are wanting to get help for her, i think she on way too much. She lives in a different state than us and has 2 young kids and we are worrying. Is this too much medication?

It sure sounds like it to me. I thought the only reason a person was put on Methadone was for Heroin addiction. If she is a long term drug user, then she probably has to use a lot of drugs to thwart whatever pain she is in. I would suggest that you do get help for her, her childrens safety is at stake. The Serequel is for some sore of mental disorder, probably bi-polar, the Ambien is for problems with sleeping, the Ativan is for anxiey and I assume she is taking the codeine for some sort of pain she must be experiencing.
