My 19yr dd has taken this medication for nearly two years and although I'm sure it has saved her life, it is also making our relationship almost impossible! Her dose is 40mg which is high, and I consider her to be without empathy or compassion at all, or for anyone. I'm recently divorced from her dad and taking care of her and 4 siblings! To be frank she's a complete 'bitch' to me, almost every conversation; however well thought out; leads to a blazing row!
She can't take any criticism or even advice, and anytime I ask her for help or to clear dishes or pick up milk on her way home.... I've actually started to avoid asking, as I creates more stress!
Realistically, it's like living with her father all over again!
This was why we separated!
She says the same crap he used to say to me!
If it's the medication, what can i do? She's 19!
I can't wait for her to move out! But I miss how she used to be!
