[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 490306, member: 6546"] Ugh! So, basically, difficult child 2 is treating docs and medications like a game... Yes - let him face the consequences of running out of the medications....and let HIM call to request the refill...and let HIM hear how they cannot prescribe medications because he hasn't been seen in so long... Both of my kids have prescriptions medications - and I put them in charge of refills (keeping an eye on them, of course). THEY know they are getting low because THEY are the ones taking the medications. When THEY need a refill THEY are the ones to call. DS is very good about keeping on top of this - so he talks to the doctor about medications at every appointment, and when he needs a refill he just calls the recording at the pharmacy. difficult child - not so much. She skips her medications a LOT. So I have HER call the psychiatrist's office and explain it... I'm trying to make sure they learn that keeping up with medications is a responsibility - and not a game to play with parents or docs. [/QUOTE]
