[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So did you even try the coffee? To see if it had an effect?[/quote]

Again, she doesn't like coffee, tea, or even chocolate really. I'd have to test it out with a Frappuccino. I don't see that buying her a Frappuccino daily for a month is a good idea.

To everyone one else, thanks for suggestions. I had called Zametkin's office before, but when quoted costs was hesitant because our first attempt at this was ridiculously unhelpful. I'll either bite the bullet and pay or try one of the other providers that accept insurance.[/quote]

12:19 here.  My DS likes his coffee on the sweeter side, my DD much less so.  My oldest (in HS) gets a Frappuccino every day after school.  I set it on the counter, pill cup on top of it with his afternoon medication and a sticky note covering the pill cup with a list of what he needs to do that afternoon.  He LOVES Frappuccino so it's been effective for us in having him take his meds/do chores when we're not home to supervise. It's only 180 calories.

I haven't seen caffeine do what a good stimulant can do but have seen minor improvement.  If I'd let him, DS would drink Mountain Dew all day.  The caffeine in it kills me but seems to be no problem for him.[/quote]
