[QUOTE="Andy, post: 336937, member: 5096"] I just had another thought that may help. Whenever difficult child is started on a new medication, the psychiatrist is very conservative. He starts him at the lowest dose that he believes will be effective and always says, "We can raise the dose if need be". We usually do end up going a notch up but that first lower dose is more to get difficult child's body familiar with the medication and if it is not going to work (nasty side effects, ect.), it will not be too terrible. Has the doctor told you anything about a starting dose that you will try for a few days and then go up from there as needed? [/QUOTE]
