[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 232491, member: 3444"] I'm curious if anyone else or their difficult child has been told they metabolize medications quickly? I've read that this can be the case with children because their liver clears the drug faster with some medications and they need a higher dose than what would typically be given by their weight. I'd like to know why this happens, so if anybody knows, please share. (I know, I could ask a pharmacist, or I could have asked the psychiatrist if I'd thought about it on Friday, but this place is more fun). What I wonder also is if this is something that evens out as they grow older, that is to say, will they always need higher-than-usual dosing or will it eventually level out to a more normal level?
