[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 326315, member: 3444"] We saw an improvement after about a week or so at a therapeutic level. Our psychiatrist started him out at a low dose and slowly increased it over a period of several weeks. This slow titration is very helpful in finding an optimal dosage level. Once we saw an improvement, we held at that level for a while until we were sure the medication had adequate time to acheive full effect. If after a few more weeks we still saw breakthrough symptoms, only then would we attempt a bump upwards. I hope this medication works for your difficult child, but also realize there are other medications in this class that may work better for him so all is not lost if this one doesn't work out.
