Maeri, as all of us, you should see all of the side effects disappear within a few days. The stomach pains took about 3 days for my son. Keep us posted on his changes!
If I understand you correctly, you said that your son took the chewable Singular with no problems. Then you said within four days, he was having bad problems with the pill.
The chewable is 4 mg. and 5 mg. Which one did he take and how did he take it? How many times a day and when?
Did he take the 10 mg. pill? And when did he take it?
He took the 5mg this fall and is on the 10mg pill now. Huge difference! He even asked if he could take the chewable ones after he started on the pills. I knew something was wrong. He usually gets upset when my husband is out of town but when things were worse when he came home I knew there was something seriously wrong.
Will keep everyone updated. Thank you for your concern.
Did he take the 5 mg. chewable - once a day in the fall? At what time of the day?
Did he take the 10 mg. pill - once a day recently? At what time of the day?
He actually took the chewables in the morning during the fall. The pills I had him taking in the morning also. Sometimes he would forget and I would have him take them at night before bedtime.
I am particularly interested in your experience because of the issue of possibly overdosing. The dosage does not have to be the same for everybody. So 5 mg. worked okay, but 10 mg. caused negative side effects.
