Guest guest Posted October 5, 2008 Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 I've known people who have used Melatonin on their kids (and themselves) for years. I've never tried it for because I've never known if it would interact with her medications. Are there some meds that a child should not take Melatonin with? She takes Keppra, Lamictal, Klonipin and Methylin daily. The Keppra and Lamictal are morning and evening meds and the Methylin is only in the morning (for ADHD) and the Klonipin is only at night... It gives us added coverage for seizures at night as well as having the sleepy effect to actually allow her to slow down and go to sleep. She goes though cycles though... For weeks she'll be very easy to get to sleep. I still have to lay with her, but she'll be out in less than 10 min. But then there will be times that even with the meds and all at the right time, she will just NOT go to sleep and she'll be up so late that I'm having trouble not falling asleep! And of course none of it ever effects her wake up time... She's always up between 5 and 6am During these bouts of not getting to sleep (she will always wake up if I'm not back in there with her by midnight or so) I've wondered about Melatonin, but haven't dared to give it to her, not knowing what it may react with.
