[quote=Anonymous]A pill box is a great idea. Contact the organizer first, and if you can also contact the host, even better. Will he reliably answer his phone? You can set reminders on his phone, and call him to double check that he took his meds. Impress upon him that it's very important not to double the dose. If he thinks he took his dose already but isn't sure, he has to assume he took it! But he'll have the pill box, so there's less worries from that quarter. My kid had an overnight trip for Model UN at that age, and he had to carry his Epipen and take his ADHD meds. I was so anxious about a potential nut fiasco, given his extreme inattentiveness and tendency to just grab whatever snacks, that we traveled to the destination (couldn't chaperone) and I made sure not to be too far away. It was his first trip away from home. Now he's in college and studying in Europe. We've come a long way :-) [/quote]
