You may also ask the doctor for alternative meds if you have any apprehension about the prescription.

Hi... This medication is prescribed for hypertension, ADHD, etc. but I believe you are concerned considering your daughter's age (3 year old). In this regard I would suggest you to take a second opinion by another Psychiatrist. Medications do not fall under the domain of Psychology/Psychologists. So we can't comment on its usages.
Next Steps
Consult a Psychiatrist for a second opinion.
Consult a Psychologist for Parent Counselling & Guidance.
