Luke has a cold. I have a cold too. So I decided that if he felt like I did then I should give him some paracetamol to make him feel a bit better... Rather than using Pamol, I used the generic stuff that I got on prescription today. He went all hyper and crazy - kicking around and stuff - he is normally pretty active but not quite like this. Now, the pamol is colour & sugar free - this generic stuff was bright pink... could it have been a reaction to it or something else? I talked to my mum who says I was the same as a kid - she had to weigh up pain levels with hyperness before giving it to me... Anyone else had this? ------------- Mum to two beautiful kids

Ayja goes cuckoo-lala on thinbgs like that. Pamol before bed makes her either sleep walk or have night terrors where she rolls around screaming unconsolably and we can't do a thing to stop her. ------------- Janine and her 2 cool chicks, Paris & Ayja

Phew I'm glad Alex doesn't have that reaction - he is the opposite, it really settles him. I don't know how we would have got through the last week without it! ------------- Nicky, Mum to Alex (5) & Sophie (3) http://lilypie.com">

Oh jeez, I'm glad it has the opposite effect of Keziah.. it knocks her for 6 and she'll go to sleep shortly after taking it -------------

Yeah Luke will settle and go to sleep with the colour free one - just not that pink one. Am thinking that I might ring doctor and see if he can organise script for the colourfree one... ------------- Mum to two beautiful kids

That's a good idea, he might have an adverse reaction to colour additives like my oldest stepson did.. his was yellows..anything that was yellow (even one yellow m & m) and he went freaking crazy!!!
Is that the cherry flavoured one?? -------------

let us know how you go bel, be good if you can get the colour free one for free, i think that colouring thing is quite common in boys, my brother was like it with yellow things too cheezels etc so i will be careful with Thomas when he is older ------------- http://lilypie.com">
