[QUOTE="jannie, post: 28809, member: 2074"] I think .5 2x per day is definately a large dosage to start with...My difficult child started at 1/2 of .25...however I do know of some kids who take as much as 3 mg per day. I'm not surprised he is tired. Sedation is definately a side effect. Most kids adjust to the sedation. I'd allow naps or an early bedtime while he's adjusting. The benefit of hosptalization is that they can monitor dosages. I have heard that since the child is in care 24/7 some doctors tend to be a bit more agressive with the medication to determine if it's effective. Definately talk to the doctor about your concerns. I've never heard of a side effect of vision. Good luck !! [/QUOTE]
