Guest guest Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 I have a large 10 year old boy, who has extreme aggression when he doesn't take his med. My problem is getting him to take it. He doesn't understand reward systems, bargaining, etc. He doesn't understand why I am trying to give him this med. I have to slip it in his food. Often times, he can smell it or taste it, and will push it away. I just don't know how to get a extremely uncooperative child to take his med. He's taking risperdol orally dissintegrating tablets. I've tried (to no avail) to put it under his tongue. He spits it out. His dad suggested I put it in his mouth when he sleeps at night. It seems dangerous, and I would be afraid he could choke on it. Does anyone have any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
