As a minor am I allowed to make my own decisions on taking perscribed drugs?

I'm supposed to be taking risperdal and lexapro, but I don't want to. I was hospitalized in January for manic Depression and they think I need to be on meds forever. Everyone else says I seem to be improving, and I haven't been taking any. I was wondering, am I legally allowed to refuse what is perscribed? Or, as a minor, do my parents get to decide? I am fifteen and I don't want to be on serious meds anymore. I need to know whats legal.
There are patient's rights and one of those include the right to refuse medication. Just beware of the consequences of not taking them and be sure that doing so won't cause your health to decline.
