Wow, there's more to consider than I'd imagined. I'm afraid I'm still too new to this whole thing, and now all this other happened with the suspension. It really helps to know I can ask and get answers, not from the docs, but from folks who are in the same boat as I. I'm making several notes, bringing up all the points everyone raised, and taking them with me on Thursday when I see my son's doctor. If convenience were the only factor here, I'd prefer the pill. So would my son, as he much prefers medication that he doesn't have to taste. I'm also going to call our pharmacist, the one I like and trust so much, and ask his opinion about all this. It may be he can help quite a bit. Thanks for all your help. I'll post Thursday evening or Friday the results of the discussion with the doctor.
