Advice about continuing with meds

We're new to meds for ADHD and struggling with taking them. We've managed to find a completely inappropriate food stuff to use for the content of the capsules but novelty is wearing off now and it's becoming a battle. Can't use dissolving as will only drink water, won't swallow anything, has very limited foods already. Wondering if anyone has had any luck with mixing up different food stuff for every few weeks or whether it's just always going to be a battle? Reluctant to use actual meal time foods as that is rapidly decreasing in acceptance. Any advice would be welcome!

DS is a very restricted eater but was desperate for the meds to work so learned to swallow the pills by practising on tic tacs. He puts them in the end of a straw and sucks them over with a large gulp of preferred drink. I couldn't believe it so maybe have a discussion with your DS if he's old enough to understand?
