Crazy Need Advice-How to child to swallow a pill..Help!!!

Hi everyone,

I have tried everything to get my 8 yr old to swallow a pill.

She is now taking concerta, psychologist thinks she has add/adhd with anxiety.

So the pill will help with her fears but she's too afraid to take it.
She can't chew it since it's time release.

It took her 2 hours yesterday and 4 hours today.
We've tried putting it in a ball of bread, we've tried swallowing tic tacs, we've tried coating it with honey, nutella.. no luck.

She is a very anxious child , she's been on ritalin, risperidol nothing has worked.

I'm hoping that someone has any tips... i'm desperate!!
She has to see psychologist in 30 days and she's only been given 30 pills so i can't start her in a week from now when she's comfortable swallowing candies etc.

Thanks
Cindy
