Hi @Nervous sorry to hear that your daughter is so unwell at the moment. Some great advice has been suggested by @TOM-RO @motherbear and @taokat.  Your priority right now is your daughters safety, and to make sure she is taking her medication as recommended by her doctors.  As mentioned, it can take some time for the medication to be effective, and sometimes (not always) things can get worse when first going on meds.  My daughter always slept with me when she was really distressed and unwell. Please call the 24/7 crises help lines that @taokat provided if you need urgent help. Try and look after yourself in these hard times, it will help you better cope with all the stress that your family is experiencing at the moment. Hang in there, things will get better.
