Hi. Axepta is a drug for ADHD. And your doctor has increased the dose from 10 to 18 mg. Thats a normal treatment. Yes you have to give the drug life long. And these drugs do come with side effects but our main concern is not the side effects but to make the child relived of his symptoms. There are many othe drugs apart from it which can help him. If you want more information. Kindly consult online.
