[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 81699, member: 1233"] That seems a little far fetched. I can't remember if lamictal takes a while to reach full effects, but many medications do. That means that they are not out of the body in a day either. She is 13. It is probably time for you to get a daily pill box, with compartments for as many times a day as she takes medications. Then it will be something you can follow and make sure she has taken them. At 13 most kids are not good about daily medications. Or even toothbrushing. medications are important, so you need to take the responsibility for this out of her hands. If you can do it with-o anger, then it will work smoother. Just try to have the box near where you keep the coffee, so you can have her take it in the am, or where you keep something you see in the evening, if she takes it at night. THen You just say, "here's your medications, Thanks" and go on. Maybe keep your medications in a pill box color coded for you, and hers next to them in one color coded for her? This just makes it something you hopefully won't have to fight about, as opposed to, "You didn't take your medications all last month!!!" Which is something I have actually said. I know exactly how frustrated you are, I truly have walked in your shoes. Deep breaths, lady, deep breaths. Susie [/QUOTE]
