I take care of refilling my stepson's ADD meds every month. He takes Concerta.
I've questioned his running out early before but basically I'm made to feel like it was just an error on my part, that I miscalculated. Well, this time, I made him present me with the bottle. He gave me the empty bottle and said he'd put the rest of them in a ziploc bag and took them with him to his mom's house where he'd stayed three days last week (he came home Sunday evening). He said he ran out at his mother's, that's why the bottle was empty.
I called the pharmacy to see when I'd picked them up last. I got them the evening of Dec 1st and it was 30 pills. He didn't take one from that bottle until Dec 2nd (maybe - he isn't good at taking them every day). That means that today, he should have had two pills left over. If he ran out at his mother's the vey last day, this means he had nearly a week's worth of pills missing.
I told his dad what was going on and he blew it off. So, I asked my stepson about it in front of his dad and that's when he came up with the I ran out at mom's story. Well even the hubby didn't buy that.
So, he pointed out that he shouldn't have been out. Then my stepson quickly said that he had thrown them out because he felt he was doing better and didn't need them. He said he was wrong and would start taking them again. This from the person who, just about a month ago, asked his doctor to raise his dosage because he was failing all of his classes.
None of this makes sense to me. Anyone care to share any thoughts on this?
