I have an 11 year old girl who is on Adderall and Risperdal. She has been on them for over 6 years with the last 1 and half having it be her responsibility to take her morning meds and her afternoon meds. I have bought one of those pill holders that have Monday to Sunday and I fill it for her every week and leave it in the kitchen for her and never move it. Lately, (over the last 5 months) we have come to realize that she has not been taking them as prescribed. Her answer to not taking them is that she forgot. We have taken measures by grounding her numerous times, taking treasured things way, keeping her from her friends, keeping her from joining in on play time or movie time and nothing is fizzing her. I don't know what else to do to make her not forget. I've tried to explain to her the importance of taking them and the consequences of not taking them as far as her body is concerned and the consequences of not taking them on a personal level but nothing is getting threw to her. Any suggestions?????? ↓
