[quote=Anonymous]So, I talked with DD yesterday.  I explained to her why she should not have any prescription drugs not belonging to her - nor should she be taking anything.  I emphasized to her that she was luck it was her Mom and not some school official that found them and inquired as to whether she:  a) had been taking them; b) had been holding them for someone else, etc. I did not get any answers beyond an acknowledgement that she knows that she should not have such things.  However, I do not know whether to believe her story nor whether she is not telling the truth to protect herself or one of her friends.  She did not get argumentative with me.

DD has been a little less than truthful lately about a few things.  I do think it is is partially attributable to fear of getting the "bad cop" treatment from her mother.  However, I did give her a dressing down yesterday because she also lost her retainer and lied for three days about its whereabouts.  She came clean - after she visited the Orthodontist and he could've done something about it.  Ugh!  Teenagers are frustrating as hell!

On the Zoloft thing, I do think I am going to arrange an appointment with her pediatrician in the context of a regular physical and see what comes up.  My psychiatrist friend said most good pediatricians are pretty good at detecting whether a kid is need of medical assistance with depression or not.
