I was looking at the study of using cypro for treatment of autism in young children (3-11) first published on the forum by Haidut
Cyproheptadine in the treatment of autistic disorder: a double-blind placebo-controlled trial. - PubMed - NCBI
I would like to follow the same dosing and length of time for my autistic daughter since I came to conclusion that if I don't do anything about it nobody else will. In the text it says that the children in the study were given 0.2mg/kg/day of cypro. The tablets come in 4 mg each. If I'm correct does this mean that my daughter would be taking 8 4mg tablets per day if she has 16 kg !? I certainly wouldn't feel comfortable doing that.
@StressedMom have you tried cypro for your children?
