[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 156247, member: 3444"] I can relate to a degree. difficult child 1, who does not have a mood disorder (just straightforward anxiety and ADHD) frequently squirrels away medications. I think he just gets tired of taking so many every day. He gets 5 every morning, plus a patch. And 5 every night (used to be 6... and when he was first diagnosis'd with Crohn's 2 years ago, he was taking as many as 25 per day when I add up all the medications and supplements he had to take). It can really add up over time to become plain overwhelming -- heck, I don't even like to take vitamins because it's such a pain for me to do that every day. I just found two day's worth of medications in his room this afternoon! My fault for handing them to him and walking away :sheepish: I get lazy because he's one of these kids who has to take one...pill...at...a...time no matter how small they are. Then there's difficult child 2 who can gulp down 3 Depakote ER's and a couple other smaller pills at one time... Hope your difficult child gets the message and starts taking medications more seriously. [/QUOTE]
