My daughter, 6, has been on this for awhile. I was very diligent in keeping her on it nightly (6 months). I was proud knowing that she had not gotten sick since she had started in July. Now that it is late January, I look back with mixed emotions knowing what other effects it has had on her.
Her teachers expressed that she seemed to have lost her spunk and sparkle. She seems depressed and in a zone. We have had many meetings with her teacher, nurse and a child psychologist. Wondering if she had ADD, ADHD, Sensory integration issues (she refused to wear just about everything), or something else unidentified. This normally gifted child was just not herself. I don't know what prompted me to stop giving her the drug, but I did. She is now coming "back to life" and I wonder when the side effects will be completely gone. I pray there are no long term effects. My lesson is to try to solve health problems by weighing the consequences in advance. Thanks to feedback on this forum I know we are not alone.
