[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 197548"] OMG. That was probably the hardest thing I've had to do. I didn't show it, though, and I'm not sure if that was good or bad. I took her medications to her and I really think she thought it had all blown over and I wasn't going to follow through. She said she hadn't had time to think about it. I told her she had had since 1pm. Then she said that she had wanted to talk to me about it. I told her I had been home since 4:30pm. Asked her if she was going to take them and she said she didn't know (stalling tactic) and I started unhooking her computer. Devon unhooked her tv. She's sobbing like I have just broken her heart. Alligator tears and all. Kept giving her chances. When I took her guitar she really lost it. Then I closed her door. Came into the kitchen just shaking and told Devon that was the hardest thing I've ever done. He told me he was glad I said that because he thought it was hard, but that I seemed like I wasn't having any trouble with it. A few minutes later, she comes into the kitchen still sobbing. We talked about it. First she was angry and telling me I never answered her questions. When I asked what questions, she brought up the same questions that I had answered on Friday and I told her that I was not rehashing things ad nauseum. (Then had to explain that term to her.) She keeps saying the medications aren't working, which they clearly were and she had even commented while she was on them that she smiles more and is more outgoing. I told her, however, that the doctor will make her go to the higher dose before she will try something else. So, I told her 2 weeks at the 10mg, then 2 weeks at the 20mg and if at that time she feels like it's not working that we will call the doctor right away and get a different medication. (Same thing I told her on Friday, by the way.) Told her how much I love her and how hard this was for me. Told her I was doing this because it is my job as her mother to do what I think is best. Told her that she still does have a choice (thank you, TM). Talked about a lot of things. In the end, she agreed and she took her medication. She has her stuff put back. Her biggest complaint right now is that she has 20 mg pill and we have to cut them and they taste terrible. She is very dramatic and makes a lot more out of it, but I'll do what it takes, Know what I mean?? She's not supposed to have 20mg as I told the doctor I wanted to keep her at 10mg longer, but they called in 20mg anyway. If I had realized that before I got them home, I wouldn't have gotten them.
