Mandy,
Did you wean off yourself without consulting a doctor?
I can't give you medical advice, but unless you are a proven threat to yourself, your parents and doctors can't force you to take meds. But what you can do is see the doc and learn how to withdraw safely.
When I came off an AD suddenly after being on it for 2 years, I felt terrible and had severe anxiety, plus nausea and muscle jerks.
Good luck, I hope you can a doctor and counselor that are good at working with you and your family.
