Day 3 of meds

[karmasabiotch]

Still a fight to get my DS to take the pill but he came home from school today which was his first day at school on meds and was excited that he knew he had a better day.

Big step for a 5 yo to recognize this, IMHO.

ADHD?

Oops.


ADHD and ODD with a little SPD thrown in for good measure.

my mom really struggled with my brother, he would go  through spurts, we tried everything, crushing it up, hiding it in fruit, she finally was able to put it whole inside orange slices and get him to eat it......but eventually he'd spit it out

hang in there, ill keep thinking of ideas

Maybe he will cooperate more as he sees that it helps him.

Can he not swallow it? Does he need to chew it up mixed with something else?

Google "how to get a young child to swallow a pill."

One idea : put pill under the tongue off to one side and drink water with a straw and the pill will flow with the water down.
