Throwaway, my spouse knows my real account.Our 12 year old daughter, lets call her Sarah was sexually assulated 3 years ago by her biological father. This all came about last November.Poor thing has struggled with depression. We've had her in group counseling the last 6 months or so, and completed the program. Tomorrow she beings individual therpay. I digress.Three months ago, our pediatricion prescribed a low dose of Prozac to handle frequent and violate anxiety/panic attacks. Also this is being compounded by her lack of sleep. She stays up all night, says she's not tired. When she obviously is.When she's on the medication, the house is pretty well stress free, and it seems to have leveled her off pretty well. She'll be able to calm herself down without having a meltdown.The last week to 10 days, we noticed a chage. Outbursts were getting more and more, and more violent like they were before. Low and behold, we found a stash of her medication. Probably about 5 days worth. Which makes sense now. We confronted her about this and she says "I don't need it, I'm ok now". When we found all this out and tried to get her back on it, she refused to take it. Spit it out and says she doesn't need it. We've tried reasoning with her.How to get her to take her meds?! via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2mBElzV
