[QUOTE="oceans, post: 28815, member: 2687"] It sounds like they went up on dosage very quickly. Mine had started on .25 once each day and after a couple weeks went up to .25 2x/day. A couple weeks later we increased to .25 1x and .50 1x each day. I think I was told that a good therapeutic dose to end with would be 1-2 mg/day. Even a tiny amount made my difficult child exhausted and he slept all the time. It sounds like they went up to a high level in a matter of days? Perhaps that is why he is so sedated and groggy. Perhaps the sedation is what is causing the vision problems. My difficult child never had vision problems. It is nice that the rages have subsided, but he needs to function too! Perhaps he will adjust in time, or the dose might need to be adjusted down some. [/QUOTE]
