Hi,
I'm so sorry you're going through this. It sounds like such a difficult struggle and I'm glad your daughter has you as an advocate!
I can't say that I have anything to add that will help. As an adult taking antipsychotics it has taken some trial and error to get the right one and they each have different side effects. If the antipsychotic route seems best (and I have no idea if it is), give it some time to see if the given medication works but if there are side effects that make it intolerable, go to the next one--until you find one that she tolerates. Risperadal made me drool and people who interacted with me easily got the impression that I was medicated in some way. Zyprexa worked for me and Seroquel worked OK too but is a little sedating. I will be thinking of you and hoping that they solve this distressing challenge you and your family are faced with.
