Do not stop taking it now that you have started it. Do mention the situation to your psychiatrist, and assess from there.

Your parents are correct: you really shouldn't have taken yourself off your medication without first speaking to a health care provider and looking at alternate options. However, they also aren't in a position to tell you that you don't still require it now, and while you haven't been on it for very long it's not a great idea to just start and stop medications designed to alter brain chemistry. Usually you don't start feeling the full effects of antidepressants for a number of weeks after you begin taking them, but that doesn't mean they haven't already begun to affect the serotonin levels in your brain.

tl;dr continue taking your full dose until you can see a psychiatrist and discuss whether or not you should still be taking them.
