[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 339833, member: 1991"] You are definitely not alone, although husband & I personally haven't had to deal with what you have been going through. However, we have had problems with a child we thought was a easy child and who we pretty much left to her own devices, while we were focussed on her brothers. Luckily for us she didn't smoke anything, let alone pot. But she does binge-drink and because she's not living at home, we are very limited in what we can do. I can't insist she see a psychologist, either. Or if she did see someone, that she would be open about her issues anyway. With your daughter, can you get her to her neurologist for a really involved and stern talking-to about exactly how important it is for her developing brain, to take the right dose of medications for her problem, at the right time. And to not take too much, too little, or the wrong stuff? I think she needs a course in basic neurology from the doctor, so she can get a better understanding of just how nasty this could get. Also, if she was using at all when she was diagnosed, does this mean she may not have a seizure complex after all? It could be time for her to be hospitalised to be sure she's off everything, then to be re-evaluated concerning the seizures. Others will be along with more specific advice. Welcome to the site. Sorry you need us but glad you found us. Oh, and I just posted on another thread, on the topic of underage girls sending naked pics of themselves to guys - the girls need to realise two things: 1) Once you post it, it's out there permanently. Once you become a grandmother, a senator, a pillar of the community, a rock chick or a porn star, those pics WILL be found and used against you. Once you send them, they are there permanently. You may as well have the pics tattooed on your face. 2) If you send those pics while you are under-age, you have just committed a crime in trafficking child porn. The person who received them can also be charged with trafficking in child porn. So can whoever he sends them to. And so on. And somewhere at the end of that line, WILL be some old man somewhere in a raincoat, breathing heavily. And he might even be someone who lives nearby and happen to recognise the girl in the photo. You just have no way of knowing if, or who. Girls - it's not romantic, it's icky. Marg [/QUOTE]
