Take her to the hospital - NOW.
You can actually DIE of caffine overdose. A friend of mine was 3 days in the hospital because of it.

(Caffeine may cause nervousness or irritability, trouble in sleeping, dizziness, or a fast or pounding heartbeat. If these effects occur, discontinue the use of caffeine-containing beverages and medicines, and do not eat large amounts of chocolate-containing products .)www.healthtouch.com/bin/EContent_HT/drugShowLfts.asp?fname=usp0428.htm&title=Vivarin&cid=HT
Honestly I would drink whole milk to curb all the caffein. Milk is good for many things
it nuetrualizes what you have consumed. Word of caution, Milk is not a cure all, for over dosing, poison control #'s are best to check with
for many things people do to themselves out of hurt or guilt.

That is more than likely not enough to OD on but it depends on how small she is. She will probably just get pretty hyped up and have an enormous headache when it starts to wear off.
