[QUOTE="Josie, post: 302562, member: 1792"] I also think you really can't win by slipping the medication into his food. Either he will taste it or see it and know or he will feel it affect him and know or even if he doesn't find out, what will you do? Will you just always put it in his food? Will you tell him you did put it there and he didn't react, so he needs to take it? I was thinking the same thing as Susie about Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). My daughter just went through months of intensive Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) therapy where the therapist came to our house and did CBT/ERP with her. The therapist mentioned that he does work with people who have anxiety attacks, also. They somehow simulate the physical reactions from a panic attack and help the person realize they can cope with it. I think the theory is that then they won't just avoid things that might cause a panic attack. I agree that his medication phobia needs to be addressed by a professional. If he has that much anxiety, maybe that should be addressed before the ADHD? Especially since the ADHD medications might make his anxiety worse. The CBT/ERP was very helpful for my daughter. [/QUOTE]
