Guest guest Posted July 18, 2002 Report Share Posted July 18, 2002 Dear Patti, you will probably get a lot of advice on this and since I am new, there might be better ideas - but, I will share our experience. When my son Josh first got sick and fist started on prednizone the stress and drugs kept him awake most of the night. They put him on halcion and it worked but there are so many bad side effects Josh was scared to take it very often - so his doctor suggested 1 or 2 tablets of benedryl about one hour before bed. He still has sleep problems but the benedryl has helped with no side effects. Lou, mom of Josh > > > _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
