Guest guest Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 Listmates: My son has been having sleep issues since being on a full dose of LDN. He sleeps great for about 8 hours (7:30-3:30) and then wakes up for a few hours, and then may or may not go back to sleep. I'm thinking of giving him melatonin to break this cycle and restore his normal sleep cycle, but I'm wondering if there are any SCD-compliant melatonin brands out there? I'm thinking I'll need to give him some in the middle of the night, since giving him some at bedtime will wear off by 3:30 am, so I would need one in a dropper form (that I can give while he's sleeping) or TD form. Thanks so much for any thoughts, Angie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 26, 2006 Report Share Posted February 26, 2006 We use KAL brand .5mg fast acting melatonin. But it is a little caplet. It can be crushed though. So, if you don't find a liquid brand perhaps you could mix this in a little juice and use a syringe with it. The other possibility is that he is just going to bed too early now. If I put my kids to bed that early, they would probably get up at 4am and stay up as well. Jody mom to -7 and -9 SCD 1/03 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
