Guest guest Posted August 2, 2008 Report Share Posted August 2, 2008 Hi- my daughter's sleep issues are due to her ocd fears; I give her her meds in the early afternoon so I do not think the meds are the problem. Thanks for the input. in Rhode Island Help with sleep I have tried Melatonin and Benedryl, also relaxation...watching the caffeine, etc. to help my daughter with sleep. Although they have helped a little, is there anything else out there I could be trying? She is in the middle of an OCD setback and her sleep is suffering. Any suggestions would be helpful!
