[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 155827, member: 3419"] So sorry! I know the feeling! Our difficult child pockets his medications, too. He hates pills and cannot swallow even the tiniest one, so he chews the capsules (eeouow!). We have to watch him very carefully or he will either put it in his cheek, or under his front lower lip, or even keep it in his hand when he pretends to toss it in his mouth, and he puts on SUCH a good act, making faces and the whole 9 yds. You're right--you have no idea whether the increased dose is working or even if it's too much, since he was pocketing them so often. If only these kids knew how they were sabotaging themselves. I'm wondering if your difficult child is a bit delayed ...I don't see it in his bio, but that's the only thing that keeps me from duct taping my own difficult child or sending him to the moon on the back end of a Soyuz missile. I just remind myself that even though he's 11, he has the emotional state of an 8-yr-old. (On a good day. :) ) I hope that helps. You were right to drive around for awhile. Much better than clobbering him. Sometimes I walk, sometimes I drive. I have to wait until my heartbeat slows down and I can think of other things... a book, the stars, anything but difficult child, so then I know I'm ready to go back. Take care. [/QUOTE]
