Re: [epilepsy] Refusing meds

 

I do not know about any chewables, but both Depakote and Topomax come in
sprinkles. Sometime during the day, when things are calm and it's not
time to take her meds, I would ask her why is doesn't want to take
them. It may be a number of things, from a control issue to the fact
that she knows they make her feel weird. Find out form her because it
might an issue you can resolve more easily then doing a med change.
