Hello, my name is Casandra. I have a 7 yr old daughter who has been taking anti-seizure medication since birth. These past few years have been hell (pardon my language). She is currently on Lamictal chewables since she gags and vomits on liquid medication. As of recently it has been extrememly hard to get her to take her meds. I give them to her at dinner time, either hiding them in her food or trying the "big girl" approach and having her swallow them with her milk. Now things are getting tough. She refuses to take them, if she finds one in her food, she spits it all out and will not continue to eat. The milk trick worked for a while, making her feel like a big girl was something she liked but now she either bites my hands as I place the pills in her mouth or she spits milk and pills out all over the place. I've tried several stratagies such as taking things away from her that she enjoys, setting up a "chore chart" along with stars and a prize at the end of the week. I've even gone as far as to get her school involved with the disipline. Nothing seems to work and I'm running out of options. If there is any suggestions out there, please don't hesitate to get a hold of me. Thank you.
