Need Strategy to help my son drink his med - Sertraline (Zoloft)
 

Or son is currently drinking the Sertraline in Sunny-D. His anxiety about this is making it difficult because he walks around with it and the medicine settles and then he doesn't want to drink the bottom of the cup because it "tastes bad". Then we get upset and he experiences more anxiety.

Has anyone figured out a way to overcome their kids resistance to drink this stuff? Ken

Hey notasperfectasyou
 

Like it was sung in that old movie,a spoon full of sugar makes the medicine go down.

Maybe 2 spoon fulls of sugar in the bottom will help him to drink it. The sugar that helps teeth is Xylitol,which you can get online,or at a vitamin store. In other words it's healthy sugar. BF:hug::hug:

Teach him to swallow pills. My daughter learned at age 3 and I've heard of kids younger than that learning.

Good luck.
