Does it make sense that a late medication dose is as good as none at all?

[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 210133, member: 1233"] He may be so overstimulated that even the medication isn't enough to help. Is it possible to give him the extended release seroquel in the morning, and then have him take a dose of regular seroquel at school? Not sure what he takes when, but since it is an extended release, I just thought that if it was given in the am you would have better control and coverage. It DOES take time for the extended release medications to kick in, and if he is already in full tilt, then it just may not be enough to reset his circuits. I know it would be a pain, but could you call school every day and have them call him to the office for a message, or take a message to him? You could set up a code (think James Bond or some other cool spy) that isn't "Go take your medications" but would mean that to him. I really, really, really HATE that schools think kids should be responsible enough to go take their medications, and won't remind them. Kids are KIDS. BY definition they are NOT going to be responsible enough to take charge of something this important. Just in my opinion, but... Maybe brushing after school and some of whatever sensory stuff calms him would help after his snack? [/QUOTE]
