[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 133223, member: 1233"] I just read the update about "i just don't like them" in regard to the medications. If you feel the medications are needed, then you should make sure (now that he has started to refuse them) to check his mouth to see he swallows. Or get the liquid version of prozac and of any allergy medications - but in my humble opinion this is harder because they can spit them out. medications are a big deal, so I sometimes have used a small bribe - usually one only for medications, and historically Hershey's syrup in a small spoon NOT full. They get a good chocolate taste, not too much sugar, and if they demand a large portion next time, use a smaller spoon and fill it full. Will he describe what he doesn't like about the medications? Do they make him feel a certain way, is it because he thinks you are trying to "control" him, is he sick, or does he not give a descrition. It took a LONG time for my difficult child to trust that I would listen when he said a medication made him feel bad/ I insisted that he tell me HOW a medication made him feel bad, or didn't like them. At the point he could tell me about feeling sick, or bad, or whatever, then I would call his doctor. I did INSIST on changes if my son was clear, if he wasn't, no changes until I knew what was going on. I just felt that if it made him feel bad and that I understood HOW, then we could find medications that didn't do this. It helped him learn about his body also. Sending hugs for a better day tomorrow. Hugs, Susie [/QUOTE]
