[QUOTE="totoro, post: 252051, member: 3155"] The 26% that I could see was at a very high dose I am assuming for an Adult. Clinical trials are rarely is ever done on kids. The dose for 26% looked like 16mg a day, which a child or young adult would most likely never ever be on. Also the diagnosis for these % was for Schizophrenia, which very few if any, young adults or children are ever diagnosis'd with either. While their are always side affects with all of these medications, it is not good for us as parents to scare ourselves with all of the side affects. We need to know the side affects and be aware of them. I keep a journal and keep diligent track of K's side affects, and moods etc. I tell her psychiatrist everything that concerns me. I am not afraid to pull her from a medication if I feel it is making her worse. That is our job as a parents. If you really in your heart feel this is not a good medication for your difficult child, after much research, then do not put him on it. But seriously, it is so easy to read all of the bad things drive yourself crazy! I have done it... We are looking at Lithium for K. She is 7. Do you know how scary the word Lithium is? Peoples perception of this medication is horrible, but after you actually research it, you realize this medication is likely one of the better MS than a lot of the others out there. Will it work? Who knows? Will she experience the bad side affects? Maybe... I hope not. K is experiencing some of the not so good side affects from AP's right now, but the good out weighs the bad. I hate this. I hate having to medicate my child. But, she is worse off of the medications. Off of the medications is doing far more damage to her mind than on. I know these decisions are hard and tough on your heart. Keep researching, you are doing what all of us do and have done. You are a good Mom! :) [/QUOTE]
