[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has anyone found a strategy to convince elderly parents to take psych meds? One poster mentioned that meds helped their parent with frontotemporal dementia - but how did this poster get the parent to agree to see the psychiatrist and take the meds?[/quote] The doctor uses the medical name, not the recognizable name and says it is just a trace amount to help take the edge off when really they are just starting with the normal smaller dose to work their way up. Basically the doctor convinces them due to circumstances anyone needs it but assures them they are not one of those crazies. The problems come when they skip doses or decide they are fine and go off. I also could not believe my parents didn't notice a difference on it because there was a world of difference.[/quote]
