[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 54542, member: 3444"] I don't know about seizures... there was a time a few months ago when he said he was spacing out in class and sort of losing track of time. His psychiatrist suggested a neuro consult, and I went so far as to make the appointment, but then difficult child said that he was just bored when these periods of "zoning out" would happen, so I cancelled the appointment thinking it was just a case of daydreaming. He was on 40mg Daytrana and 15mg Abilify at the time. Could be this is just the other medications finally disappearing from his system. I was reading that the initial target dose is 25mg/kg/day. My son weighs 40kg, so I guess that means we would be working up to 1000mg? If that's true, how long does it usually take to work up to that level? So far, our instructions are 250mg for 5 days, then 500mg for 5 days. I wonder if the next step would be 750mg and then 1000mg for the same amount of time? [/QUOTE]
