Hi Tammy,

Yes periactin can cause moodiness. That is why it is recommended

that you slowly start the child on it. Basically, you start at 1/2

the evening dose for a week. Then the whole evening dose for a

week. Then add 1/2 the morning dose for a week and then the whole

morning dose. That means it takes 4 weeks before you a giving the

entire does.

As for the sleepiness, periactin is an antihistimine. They make

mose people sleepy.

By following the above schedule, it will give your son's body time

to adjust.

Good luck,
