I am sorry that you are going thru all that.. I also wanted to comment on the meds.. Please do not feel bad about putting her on them 24/7 our foster daughter definately needs them and it would do more harm to her to have the emotional ups and downs with going on and coming off the meds..
Also.. as 1 other poster indicated.. you may want to try to chage some of your techniques.. our previous FD did not care what we took away it would never help her to do better.. she "EXPECTED" us to take things away and was just "justified" in her actions when we did..
Instead these kids need to know sometimes that no matter what they do you will still love them and treat them well.. I know that this may seem the wrong way.; but it actually worked with us..
now we really think before we take anything away and we see if that will really make a difference.. and many times when we have instead let her keep things or still go places we have told her that we love her and we are still letting her do these things.. then we do something like assign some extra chores or something like that...
good luck
