[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]11 yo. Drs suggested 5-6 mg 45 mins before bed. We are using vitafusion sleep sugar free gummies (2 gummies) and works like a charm [/quote] Wow this is a big dose. Our doctor recommended .5 mg. [/quote] A reminder that DCUM is not an appropriate place to get medical advice. 0.5 mg is great if it works for your child. It is half the dose recommended for young children. For a small 6 year old our doctor said the max is 3 mg. [/quote] NP. I think it’s pretty widely accepted that you should use the lowest dose that works? My kid responds to less than 0.5 (we split the gummy) so that’s what we do. 5-6 mg is a lot, no criticism if that’s what your child needs and a doctor signed off on it but it’s definitely high for a child.
