2. I hear you. I went through 7 years of dangerous bad meds monitoring

before my ex and I found a clinician that was careful, skilled and accessible.

At one point, I was reduced to surfing the net to try to figure out which of the 5 meds was poisoning my husband. It's an ugly, destructive and even dangerous process. It turned out to be Neurontin, which was being prescribed in a very high dose AND off label. I wanted to bite somebody for putting us through that, seriously, and I've never even made a fist in my life.

None of those drugs is a miracle. When they work, they seem to work for a period of time and sometimes need to be changed out for a different one. I'd suggest keeping a log if you don't already because down the line, your own notes may be valuable for whoever is seeing your daughter.
