Stella,
I didn't have time to read all of the replies so hope I'm not being repetitive. We have gone through a lot of medication refusal with our difficult child. He would get violent at times not wanting to take it, other times he would throw them. It was so exhausting but basically he could do nothing until he took his medications.
Right now he is on a chip system. He gets a poker chip for various things, one being taking his medicine right away within 10 seconds of being asked. We've been doing it for about 4 or 5 weeks and I think there has only been one or two times he didn't get a chip. He is able to use the chips to buy television time, computer time, etc...
Hugs to you-I totally understand the difficulties with medication refusal.
