Ok everyone,

I need your input. My brother's doctor perscribed his 40 mg of Strattera 2 times a day. I think this is outrageous, but my mom said wouldn't the doctor know? My brother is only 70 lbs and the dose they are giving him is for a teenager or adult over 150 lbs if I'm reading the groups correctly.

Help! I don't want them overmedicating him.

Never mind. I called my brother's doctor to find out if he really meant to give him a double dose of the meds. And he's apparently a new doctor and "thought" that Damon was supposed to get the meds 2 times a day. He cancelled the first perscription and has him down for 40 mg in the morning and 18 in the afternoon.
