The dosage does appear to be quite low, but because she is only 4 this is understandable. Results of the drug are dependant on the person. But usually within 3 weeks, the optimum dose is reached and the drug should start to take effect. I think after this time you should have another meeting with your doctor to check the medication has had the proper effect.
