Has anyone had experience with this drug? My son is 9 years old ( 48kg) and was just diagnosed with tourettes. His tics suddenly appeared more than a week ago and is affecting his school work and social skills. He started the drug yesterday and made him very drowsy. Im a bit concerned as the side effects are startling as well as what it is used for.
