Maybe it was just a one-in-a-million thing, but I will never, ever touch this medication again. My 2-year-old son tolerates other meds very well with no problems but when we gave him this, he freaked out like he were on an acid trip at a Grateful Dead show. I checked and double-checked the dosage and gave him 2.5 mL (he weighs about 36 pounds), which was the correct amount. He grabbed at invisible floaters, beat wildly at his arms and legs because "there were bugs all over him," and screamed and pointed at things he imagined were trying to get him. I cannot recommend this drug to any young child based on my experience. I hope that his reaction was just a rare aberration but regardless, we'll never touch the stuff again.

I have been googling this medication for an hour and found this post. I gave my 2 year old, weighs about 33 lbs, ONLY 1 ml which is less than half the dosage because the doctor said it would be fine to give her a little bit if she is taking robitussin for her cough and cold. She could not fall asleep and when I checked in on her she was running back and forth in her crib singing and talking about different things like she was on speed. So I took her out to release some of this crazy energy and as soon as "Dora" came on she is like a zombie. VERY strange reaction and very scary. I don't think I would ever give her it again and would NOT reccomend it. Acid trip explains it to a tee.....
