After a hellish year or two DD20 AuDHD where she was feeling very low, falling out with people, dropped out of college twice, no job, sleeping with strangers, no friends increasing social anxiety, we got tough, got her to the drs & she started on 50mg Sertraline last June and it made such a difference to her, she's got a part time job, she also settled into a relationship. She has also struggled with relationships, partly because she has RSD & conversations can be difficult at times, feeling she's not understood & her also sometimes misreading. However it had improved over the last year & BF had been good for helping with that- despite it being quite turbulent!
But last month they broke up various things but she called his sister a druggie to her face - they were talking about weed & the sister relies heavily on it as an 'AD.' (DD did apologize later.) Anyway they are a close big family as they were mostly fostered, some doing better than others, but BF then had to choose her or them.
it's been v. difficult for them both & they have still been having sex sometimes, cant resist. DD has gone back to meeting a couple of other guys instead, when she stays out overnight she comes back so tired which really affects her mood & because of the break up she feels very lonely, so her emotions are all over the place.
She has some therapy booked for this week, (have tried before but even that can be difficult for her) I'm not anti Medication but I struggle with the whole depression of that because my DF was depressed for years, stayed home, didn't work when I was little, I was very close to him but it pained me to see him like that, & i really dont want that for DD.
MY question is should she go back to the Dr's - I'm fearful they will just increase the dose because that's the easiest thing to do. DD is quite naive and relies on others telling her the right thing to do at times, but what the Dr says is Gospel!
