[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 300543, member: 6546"] Heather-- Your daughter is not unusual in regards to resisting medications based on the name or the diagnosis. Many people are influenced by "labels"...and marketing experts are always trying to figure out how to get around the public's pre-conceptions. For example, years ago Prozac was approved to treat PMDD. However, the drug company quickly discovered that women were unwilling to take Prozac. Patients considered Prozac to be for people with serious mental problems--and after all, they were only suffering from bad PMS. So, the drug company re-packaged the medication. They took the exact same formula, but now offered it under a different name and labelled specifically for PMS and PMDD. Sales went through the roof. If you can, make sure the doctor knows to give your daughter something to help with her "anxiety" if that's the only label she will accept... Good luck! --DaisyF [/QUOTE]
