At this point we have had multiple tdocs and a psychiatrist tell us that feel medication is appropriate and necessary for our difficult child. Although initially willing to go to the psychiatrist husband is now saying that he will not go the medication route. We have a followup scheduled with the psychiatrist and at that appointment we will discuss the specific medication and dosing etc that the psychiatrist recommends and husband can get all his questions answered but at this point he is saying that he will not medicate her.
Can I medicate her if husband does not consent? Is there any legal action that I can or would need to take in order to be able to give her medication?
I will definitely continue to work with psychiatrist and try to address husband's concerns and fears about medication but I consider this a "hope for the best but prepare for the worst" situation and I would like to know what I might have to do if he continues to refuse.
Thanks.
