My daughter takes medication for epilepsy. She will be attending college out of state in the fall. Taking her anti-seizure medication daily is of course imperative.
I'd love to hear from any parents whose kids take medication long term who made the transition successfully. Any helpful tips for your student remembering to take their medication? She can take the medication anytime of day, but it has to be at a consistent time.
I have transitioned to making the medication HER responsibility while she is still at home rather than me telling her to take it each day, but I still check with her and remind her. Old habit.
What has your student done that was successful beyond setting a phone reminder (which only works if they are in the room at the time it goes off)? Putting the medication in a certain location? (If so, where?) White board reminder?
Thanks for your help.
