'Unfortunately you are correct that according to the NY State Health Dept, "An individual who is legally a minor (under 18 years old) cannot give effective legal/informed consent to treatment and therefore, conversely, cannot legally refuse treatment." '

this quote refers to the medical treatment of minors by emergency medical people (first responders, etc) in emergency medical situations. it has nothing to do with mental health situations. (https://www.health.ny.gov/professionals/ems/policy/99-09.htm)

"Because of such a long half-life, the withdrawal will come later than with others. Brain zaps, mood swings, lethargy, other problems you had from before antidepressants and more. You may inadvertently turn against your parents or snap, without being able to easily control your anger. This danger lasts for months, up to a year. I implore you, if you want to come off the drugs, make sure sure sure you can mask your emotions and not snap whatever you do."

i have never read or experienced any effects like this from fluoxatine. it sounds like nonsense.
