If you're 18, can you stop taking your medication if you ask?

I'm on Zoloft and Seroquel and I don't think it does anything for me. I feel the same as when I wasn't on it. I've been on both for 10 months. Slightly varying dosages. I can't take a lot of it. I want to stop taking it slowly. We discussed stopping it when I was still 17. I asked if I could but my psychiatrist said to wait and see if I was still stable. I have been "stable". I have been on medication during bad times and during good ones so I don't see how this is even helping me. The side effects are bad too. I've always been the same level of unhappiness I've always been, regardless of the 20 different medications I've tried. Since I'm 18, can I ask to go off of it and they can or have to say yes to my request.. I'm tired of taking medication just so my parents feel like they are doing something about my problems when they are really just putting a band aid over a cut that needs stitches. They don't genuinely seem to care about actually helping me so why make them feel better.

You can refuse any medical treatment you want to refuse. So if you don't want to take meds anymore, don't. Just stop them safely with the help of your doctor.

Yes, you're old enough to stop. But just because 2 medications didn't help doesn't mean others won't help. It's worth a try. A good psychiatrist would have changed your medication by now if taking it for several months has proven ineffective.

If you're mildly to moderately depressed psychotherapy will be more effective.

Depends on each country's law. In the US once you reach the age of majority, you have to tak responsibility for yourself. Some people lack capacity to make personal decisions, for instance due to a severe mental illness. Assuming this is not the case for you, you should be able to take control over your treatment and discuss alternative medications with your treatment provider. I am surprised you did not bring this up earlier, since an open communication is vital in a therapy, minor or not, your therapist/doctor should pay attention to your needs.

I would tell your dr that you wanna come off and if he waivers put your foot down. Tell him you need a plan to come off before end of session.
I wrote a 2 page letter to my prescriber(an NP). Im hoping she has time to read it before Tuesday cuz I want to schedule an appointment for then and discuss it. It told her not only why I want to come off but how I plan to help myself coming off and when im off.

Yes you can decide your own treatment. Do not go "cold turkey" off those meds. Plan to slowly cut down the dosage because for example; xanax withdrawl can be deadly if your brain suddenly tries to adjust without it. Zoloft and seraquel are not quite as deadly as xanax when levels drop but a slow lowering of dosage every week is best for quitting. It is acceptable to want a time period of "no drugs" to get a baseline determination for yourself to make further decisions or compare to how you felt "on drugs". It is mature to examine and explore options including less drugs instead of more drugs. I think adding more and more drugs and their various expected side effects is not healthy or helpful, but I was not dehumanized in med school to a corporation flunkie mistrained insurance-coding robot either.

You are the only expert who has any actual knowledge about how YOU are feeling... the advertising industry (look how happy our actor is while selling our product to consumers) and corporate kickback (cruises, holiday trips, superbowl tickets, cars, etc) from pharma companies is organized to increase prescriptions not health. Doctors who over medicate their patients "get more" than those who try to offer patients the least medication possible for the desired outcome... just like any other "profession"... ever hear about a crooked lawyer making deals with the devil instead of seeking justice? So do not accept anyone not listening to your very reasonable and healthy request to help you lower your meds responsibly and safely. You could always ask for the dosage to be adjusted/restarted later if you decide the meds were helpful.
