    To answer the general question of whether or not it works - yes it does, given that it's a licensed medicinal product which must be proven to be effective before it can be marketed. And, like every drug, there are also potential side-effects. But as you probably know, every person is different and it's impossible to comment here on how any one individual will react to a drug treatment. These are questions which probably should be addressed by the doctor who initiated the drug (presumably a specialist), who will be in a better position to discuss your son's treatment.

    i presume this was started by a child psychiatrist. you should really speak to them about side effects and outcome. if necessary, make a list of the questions you have and bring them to the appointments
