Hello. I have just signed up to the group. I have a 14 yr old daughter whom is on numerous meds which I will list at the end of my introduction. There doesn't seem to be any concrete answers anywhere for the issues our family is dealing with.
This started when my daughter was 18 months old she was diagnosed with a mixed gleoma of the left frontal lobe. She had 3 brain tumor surgries and underwent 9 months of chemotherapy.She has been cancer free for 9 years.{hooray!!} After many test she has been diagnosed as functioning on a level of a 10 yr old. At this time our main issues are behavioral problems at home. she can have episodes of screaming,crying feelings of not being loved,inadequaticies etc..... She has 2 grandmothers who see none of this!!! They think we overreact,are mean,or trying to put her away. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Anything said to her that she views as negative can trigger these episodes. We love our daughter{s} very much and want to do the best for them as possible. But,in all honesty we feel like we're butting our heads against a stump!! I have alot of catching up to do on this site, but just wanted to say hello and furnish some background as to why we are here. We welcome all comments and will reply in kind when our opinion is requested.Meds currently are as follows:
Depakote - 1,000 mg p/day
Seroquel - 800 mg p/day
ambilify - 45 mg per day
trileptal - 900 mg p/day
