My son is 11, non verbal. He has not been able to have a full night sleep since over a week ago. (and neither have I) Allergies are also acting up. I was hoping to get tips or ideas on how to treat. I have looked into melatonin, but I cannot find a lower dose other than 500mg. Any suggestions would be appreciated. thank you.
We also had that problem. When my neurologist recommended melotonin, we have been on it since. I find 1 mg at my local GNC and they are cherry flavored that disolve under your tongue. I can only find 3mg and above every where else and they dont work as well as the 1 mg for us. I hope this helps
I use Yankee candle lavender and vanilla scented candles also with a spray called monster be gone. I also massage his arms,legs,shoulders, and back with baby magic calming lotion. I tried Johnson and Johnson calming lotion but he does not like it
Bless your heart! I know you have tried everything. You can break the 500mg and ask the pharmacist if they can help you capsule them.
Getting him a puppy was what brought the best results, but even that took a lot of work.
He eventually grew out of it. But I know what you are going through.
But the most important thing I can advise you is to get a close family member or friend to help you out from time to time so you can sleep, until you figure this out.
so happy to hear that. Hope it keeps up!
Thank you. I did and I dont want to jinx myself, but the nights are getting a little better. =)
