[QUOTE="MaureeninNJ, post: 88572, member: 3265"] Hi everyone, its been a while since I've posted. My 6 yo difficult child is refusing to take his medicine. He is on 15 mg of Adderall XR. Since he wouldn't swallow the capsule we had been emptying it into a small spoonful of sugar free jello pudding or cinnamon applesauce (which his dr approved). But a few weeks ago he started giving us trouble and has gotten progressively worse. He has convinced himself that he tries to swallow the capsule he will choke to death (not sure where he got that idea but nonetheless that's what he thinks) and he says that taking it the other way is "yucky". Mainly because I think he keeps it in his mouth too long before swallowing it. I really don't know what else to do. Without medication he is an absolute bear and can't concentrate on anything. Anyone have any ideas? I would appreciate any help. Thanks so much!! Hugs and kisses to all. [/QUOTE]
