This is a really strong antipsychotic medication. In my opinion, much too strong for a 6 year old. I would suggest talking to the child's doctor, or getting his mother to do so, to discuss other options.

My husband is a very large, strong man, over 6foot tall, over 250lbs and they gave him this when he was hospitalized for depression. They had him on 4mgs a day when he first came home and it was awful.

The usual dosage for most people is 0.25mgs, and they had him taking 4 full mgs a day. He couldn't wake up for anything, either, not even to get up and go to the bathroom. It was awful and he had to stop taking it.

He now only takes it if he has high anxiety and can't sleep and then only at night when he has some nice long hours to sleep and rest.

I have also talked to and emailed many, many other people who had the same problems with this drug.

I am very sorry to hear of your Grandson's problems and I hope the doctor can help you find a solution.
