our daughter, 12, has taken something to sleep since she was 3 yo. She stayed up 10 straight days without sleeping! She takes melatonin, clonidine and Zyrtech..all prescribed by the Dr

We use Zarbees Naturals Children's Sleep with Melatonin Supplement for both our boys too. Really helps. And you can buy it over the counter. It must taste really good because one of my sons always asks me to give an additional pill over his dose. (Of course, we don't give him the extra pill.)

Trazadone more gets them to sleep but it does keep them sleeping but it is stronger from the time you take it.

My son keeps escaping out of the home we put dead bolts and he takes risperidone in the day and now was prescribed trazadone at night he's 8

Trazodone, and it has workrd really well.
