please find out what side efects this med might have a child this young,
my son was given it when he was younger, he is now 15 to help him sleep i thought it was a wonder drug, bearing in mind he is adhd he was on this solid for 3mths at 1mg a night, like i said i thought it was a wonder drug after battling for all his life for good nights sleep, when he seen the doc after this short time i was told he couldnt carry on taking it for long term as of the side effects could effect him when he is older, since then he has been allowed them if and when i get desperate for him to sleep,
daughter who is 22 has diferant medical issues, being add and behavioural and learning difficulties, she is taking this med as a mood stabilezer at 1mg in morning and 2mg at night since being on the med she has put on a lot of weight some of it down to the med some of it down to she will eat anything, again i would advise you to look into all side effects before you make your decission goood luck
