Has your friend ever used any kind of stimulant in the past? In my experience, I was prescribed adderall a few years ago and for about a month it was great. I felt energized and focused. Then after taking it for a few weeks it just abruptly stopped working. I stopped taking it for a few weeks and tried it again and it still didn't do anything. As year tried it again and still nothing.

So maybe if she has used any stimulants they could have had a longterm effect on her. In somewht technical terms, I believe stimulants can cause this by causing the brain to produce much less dopamine to be produced and therefore doing awaywith the effects of dopamined increasing meds.
