[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 354647"] Didn't read all the comments.. but I see others have familiarity with this. She's on the young side, so this could be a typical young person's thing, but if it continues after you give her some guidance...well it goes into difficult child territory. I would sit with her as she makes a call to the pharmacy and/or physician's. Go with her to the pharmacy one time. But in all these scenarios, have HER do the talking. You just sit in the back ground for guidance. Have HER do the work next time. You are the teacher...that's all. If you do more, you go into enabler mode. Let her come to you for a little advice. Key words: "little and advice." Have her do the leg work next time and make sure you don't orchestrate everything. 17/18 are crucial years for change. Hopefully, very soon she will be doing this on her own. [/QUOTE]
