taking medication

[Guest guest]

Hi

I need some suggestions on getting my daughter to remember to take her

medication.She is going on a cruise (without me to give her the medication) in

August and will be gone 7 days.Her doctor added and increased her medications

Thursday.She is now taking 6 pills in the morning and 2 at night.She went to the

beach for 4 days and I did separate her medication in bags according to morning

and night with the day she was suppose to take each.She " forgot " to take any of

it except the first night.The adult with her (she is taking these 4 girls on the

cruise,also) did not make sure, or remind her that she needed to take her meds.I

also would like to know if anyone knows if her prescriptions have to be in their

original containers or can I try the bags again.Ellen is 14 .

I also would like some suggestions as how to get her out of the bed. Her doctor

seems to think she has reversed her sleep cycles and is also depressed. He told

her she needs to exercise,but she doesn't seem to care. We even have a swimming

pool in our backyard,but unless she has friends over,she won't go near it.When

she has something specific to do,she will get up eventually.She also doesn't

want to take responsibility for helping with her ocd.

Any suggestions will be appreciated.
