Violent. A week of that and she was in hospital now on thorazine. Its hard. I feel like I am mourning the loss of my child. She is a sweet, kind, friendly kid. It also seems that the meds have retarded her mental maturity. She would rather play with 8,9,10 year olds than any her own age. No friends. Just her mom and dad to hang out with. Thanks for listening guys.

This sounds so familiar because this is extremely similar to what happened to me when I first got severely sick, I was around your daughter's age. The newer anti-psychotics really mess with me too. I can't take them, it's intolerable to me. I'm taking Haldol now, which while it's helping it's still not perfect.
