[QUOTE="Californiablonde, post: 526881, member: 2196"] Keista so far the lack of sleep doesn't seem to have been affecting him. I don't have any reports of him being lethargic at school, and when I pick him up at the end of the day he seems to have plenty of energy. I am just thinking it might affect him in other ways if he continues not to sleep. I know that lack of sleep can greatly affect the immune system, as well as other things. I'm just concerned it will eventually catch up to him and something bad is going to happen. He takes it in the a.m. so it is effective for him at school. I guess I'll give it a go and see what happens. Worst case scenerio he gets one night of really bad sleep and he goes back down to 2 mgs. I'm also worried because a couple of the side effects listed are fainting and abnormally low blood pressure and low heart rate. These side effects can worsen with each increased dose. I find myself checking on him more often than usual to see if he's still breathing. I'm going to be extra paranoid now that his dosage will be increased. I don't know, maybe I'm being overly paranoid? [/QUOTE]
