[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In the poster with the unmedicated 16 yo.  OP, go post on the SN forum.   You will receive more useful replies from people who understand how medication is very useful and how you can’t and shouldn’t force a teen to take them against their will.  No, taking away a phone to force meds for ADHD isn’t the answer.  It’s a lot more complicated than that.  Come on over to SN and restart the conversation there.  [/quote]

You do you.  I (and plenty of SN parents) are perfecting fine with "forcing" our kids. 
I will do whatever it takes to convince my to take his medication as long as he is a minor and lives in my house.  I don't physically force but I am 100% ok with taking away privileges. When he turns 18 and goes to college he will be 100% free to make his own choice. Thankfully he has developed his own agency in this regard but it took a parent stepping in. His 15 year old brain had no ability to see the long picture or the benefits of medication.  [/quote]
