He prescribed the drugs on the second time I went there. I was alone then. He said that I should inform my parents, which I did. He said that the only potential side effect is a stomach upset for a few days, that it is a very safe molecule.He told me that my parents consent was not legally necessary anyway. My parents did agree so I took the drugs. I blamed myself for a while for being so naive. My parents are well intentioned but, to put it bluntly, lack intelligence and courage.Some children are put on these drugs at age 11-12. In my opinion, it should be illegal before age 25, except for cases were a life is immediately in danger.</blockquote>
