Answer -
Dear Shazia,

Perhaps all this medication she is taking is actually causing the problem, rather than helping it.  I do have some suggestions as to the type of doctor that might help her and also some things I can recommend for her to do each day, but I need to know if you live in the United States or not so that I know what to recommend.  Please do a followup question with the reply.

Answer
Dear Shazia,

Since you are not in the United States I am limited as to my suggestions.  If you were here I would suggest a good doctor that does alternative healing, rather than traditional medicine but I do not know what is available there.

I do know, that the brain needs positive expression and creative expression.  I recommend that she write a lot.  I recommend that she write stories.  This will provide an outlet of creative expression.  People who talk a lot tend to need to have creative expression.  

Does she play a musical instrument?  Playing a musical instrument, especially the piano which uses both hands balances the brain. Dancing is also another form of positive expression that provides an outlet for a lot of thinking being inside the brain that needs to get out.

I wish I could be more help.  If any of this helps please let me know.  I would be interested to know if it works when someone is on a lot of medication.

Best wishes,

Expertise

Behavior and learning challenges are usually caused by personality traits such as Restlessness, High Physical, Low Concentration, Wide Tolerance (spaciness), Force (anger), Aggressive, plus others. I can help in either area.

Experience

25 years experience working with families, teaching them how to work with traits so they work for you, rather than against you. As mother of seven grown children and grandmother of 19, I have seen first hand the beauty of recognizing talents and potential in a child who is difficult to raise. I could not have raised my last daughter, who had a very strong personality, without this knowledge. Besides working with families, I have worked with individuals and businesses. The challenges are always the same--learning how to work with your own traits, plus learning how to handle trait differences between yourselves and others.
