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 kiRAB resistance to drink this stuff? Ken
 
Is there a specific reason it has to be in liquid form? If not, it's easier to simply crush the pill form and put it in applesauce or any food of that type that he likes and will eat quickly. I think the smallest dose Zolft comes in is 25mgs, so it should be easy to halve that to 12.5 mgs. I can't remeraber how physically small a 25mg pill of zoloft is, but I would imagine it would even be possible cut it in quarters if necessary.
