> My son is 11 years old and started taking 18mg a little over a week ago. The Dr. wanted to up the dose to 2 pills after 1 week. That was too much. He was sleepy and wouldn't wake up. I changed the dose to 25mg and that seems to be working. The Drs. always want to go by the weight chart and that's usually too high a dose.
How much does your son weigh? They told me my son which is 12 would end up taking 80 milligrams a day. He weighs 175 lbs and 60 milligrams seemed too much and didnt help him with school at all. Seem to make things worse.
