Parents, how did you respond when your adult children stopped medication?

[QUOTE="mindinggaps, post: 762823, member: 29823"] Dear all, I wanted to share a brief update on this topic. After some time off medication, in collaboration with the doctors we have decided it is best to reinstate the Prozac. Lately I have had increased difficulty managing anger, have had some challenges regulating emotions and have experienced short bouts of oppositional behavior. Similar to what [USER=4040]@KTMom91[/USER] explained about her daughter, I had some freak outs, but not in front of anyone indicating control but in a reduced capacity. According to the doctors, despite many improvements over the years, they feel there will always be some lingering symptoms of ODD and anxiety regardless of other therapeutic tools and as a result, they do recommend medication for life. They think that it is simply to difficult for me to have proper emotional regulation without medication and we agreed to go back to a 60mg dose of Prozac. They think that things may change with time, but the recommendation is to maintain a minimum 40mg dose at all times. I let my parents know that I am once again medicated and they were thrilled. We did have a very positive discussion - I explained to them my frustrations with them harping on this issue and explained that I believe I am clearly able to manage these things independently. They agreed to respect my privacy and agree that since I was working with the doctor to manage things, I am more than capable of handling it. I feel this is a positive outcome for all. [/QUOTE]
