Hi, generally amphetamines should be applied at the lowest possible dosage. No matter what is the indication late evening doses should be avoided because of the resulting insomnia. Children under 3 years of age are not recommended to take any of these medicines at all. In children from 3 to 5 years of age, starting dose is 2,5 mg daily. If needed, this dosage can be increased in increments of 2.5 mg for a week. Apart from medications very important are psychological help and social surrounding for overcoming ADD.
