Medication

You can’t get medicines right on the first try. It takes a while. Sometimes people (parents and kids) give up about medicine because you can’t always get it right at first. I was too slow because I was on a lot of medicine. Then I got taken off some of my medicine. Then I was a lot quicker. One medicine was actually making me more angry, but I got taken off of that. Now I’m on, I believe, the perfect medicine. You just have to be patient with it.
