What can I do?

Friends,
I'm not sure if you can help me with this or not but I'm what is a mother to do if she won't listen to reason.
I posted about her change in medication to Lithium and got a lot of good advice.

Well, today she said she is not taking the Lithium and she is not calling her doc. I can't make her do anything. She is very irritable and cranky. She warned me of that. Said she is not irritated at anyone, just miserable being off her meds. She is very afraid to take the Lithium because of how it made her feel and act. She was out of control and those symptoms stopped when she stopped taking the Lithium. So, now she is taking nothing and she is very miserable.

Should I just let her go and make her decision to take control when she is ready? Can someone like her make a rational decision? She doesn't even want to talk about it to me.

I just want to help, but she won't let me.

Help.............Lo
