[QUOTE="Janna, post: 253567, member: 2737"] So, the reason she won't take the medications is because she doesn't trust you because once you put the oil in her cereal and she freaked out. Now she doesn't trust you or any medications? Is that what you're thinking? (it's early if I read that wrong I'm so sorry lol). I have really no medication help, Stella. D's always been pretty good about taking whatever - but there's that trust between him and I, and he's not apprehensive about it. Maybe you could find a kid's book about taking medications - look at CABF, they have a huge list of kids books there - maybe that might help. You could stuff it in something, piece of bread or whatever, but then there's that problem that's going to give you PTSD - if she catches it, the trust factor goes down less - because you didn't tell her. How did she do on the Risperdal? Is it possible it gave her some weird side effect and it scared her? D hallucinated on it once - another time it caused severe constipation - wasn't a good medication for him. Might be that? I know what you mean about the Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) bedtime stuff. We have it here. D brushes teeth and pees, then gets to his room. He has to, in order - put lotion on his hands, chap stick on his lips, cross off the day on his calendar, prop his door just right, feel the bedsheets (because he wets, and even though he KNOWS I check EVERY DAY and it's clean EVERY NIGHT, still gotta check), climbs in. Then I have to rub his back for THREE minutes (don't worry, there's a TIMER in there), kiss him and tell him good night. The nightlight MUST be on, if I forget that - it's over. It's exhausting, but, in the end, if I take that 15 minutes, he goes right to sleep. I guess I don't have anything valuable to offer, just know I've been there done that and you're not alone. I really think MWM had a good suggestion with the hospital - or do you have Crisis? You could call them - here they come out to the house, do an evaluation and if they feel the child needs phospitalization, they take them. Or, maybe she needs an Residential Treatment Facility (RTF) environment. I hope today is better. I'm sorry. [/QUOTE]
